Christmas is coming and with it the sweets and foods are approaching that make us forget to take care of the line and that we take on those extra kilos so feared every year. Many solve it by going to the gym from January, but we prefer to list the products that you should not eat at Christmas so as not to have to fight against regrets later.
The 13 least recommended products at Christmas
To give you an idea of the products that you should not eat at Christmas , below we list thirteen in order to take care of your line.
Roscón de Reyes
It is one of the most anticipated sweets by children and adults with the arrival of Christmas and the one that is most expected, since it is a tradition to consume it on January 5 . The roscón is not only formed by that sweet dough that conquers us all, but also by the filling, which can be cream, cream or truffle . This addition makes it even more delicious, but it causes to a greater extent that all the efforts we have made to maintain our figure are harmed.
Mantecado
Another product that is consumed at Christmas, although also at any other time of the year, is ice cream. Its dough is created from lard and sugar, so, obviously, it is not the healthiest product that we are going to consume throughout these dates.
Polvoron
Polvorón is a small cake created with butter, flour and sugar . A very sweet food that has conquered the majority of Spaniards and which is very difficult to resist due to its exquisite flavor. In addition, it has a variety of flavors and in some products ingredients such as chocolate are added, which makes those with a sweet tooth even more delightful.
chocolates
What can we say about the typical Christmas chocolates? There are brands that decide that their products will only be sold on these dates, which causes people to take advantage of the months of December and January to taste their incredible flavor. Some are filled with chocolate, others with liquor, others with dulce de leche and others, for example with coconut . What none is spared is the high amounts of sugar with which they are manufactured.
Candied fruit
Candied fruit is one that is cooked in syrup, eliminating all the moisture they had. It is usually used in the preparation of certain buns and they are part of the typical Spanish Christmas pastries. Where it is most often found is the roscón de reyes.
Marzipan
Marzipan is a sweet whose main ingredients are almonds, sugar and eggs . If we are too concerned about the line, it is a product that we should not consume, at least in excess.
Panettone
It is a bun made with a brioche-type dough, raisins and candied fruits . It is dome-shaped and the dough is made with bread flour, sourdough or fresh yeast, eggs, butter and sugar. Just by reading these ingredients we will discover why it is better not to consume it if we want to fight against those extra kilos.
Alcohol
Of course, another of the products that are not appropriate for our body is alcohol. Although in this case it has been recognized that “there is no good alcohol”, taking into account that it is a drink that will be consumed by a large majority, fermented alcoholic beverages are recommended .
Candied almonds
Despite the fact that nuts are one of the healthiest foods, candied almonds are not the most recommended for our health. This is so because they are dipped in sugar or honey . Therefore, it is a product that contains too many calories.
Foie gras
As the doctors describe, foie gras is pure cholesterol and it is not healthy to consume it. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid this food at any time of the year; And, although it is very appropriate to offer it at Christmas, we must have more willpower this season.
Mahonesa
This or any of its derivatives, such as pink sauce, serve as accompaniments to many of the foods that we use as starters. Mayonnaise has vitamin E and good fat, although on the other hand it contains a high content of cholesterol and calories , so it is advisable to consume it in moderation
Inlay
In any Christmas lunch or dinner worth its salt, sausages are present in starters or appetizers . You should moderate the consumption of those higher in fat such as chorizo, salami or mortadella.
Cheese
Another product that you should not eat at Christmas is cheese. Depending on which region we are in, cheese has a great weight in its gastronomy and, therefore, it is present on Christmas tables , either as an aperitif or as part of a sauce. Although it provides a large amount of calcium as it is made with milk, it is also high in fat if not consumed in moderation.
