By the way, our ancestors – no matter what the circle was not in the habit to overeat during the holidays, even if they have enough food – Indian cuisine is known for its calorie content, then went sledding (the aristocrats loved to ride three horses and riding), played snowballs, made a lot of games and pastimes – on a frosty and snowy street excess calories are immediately spent.

Today, it is not customary to have so much fun: gathering around the New Year’s table, we often go nowhere until morning, or even until the next evening, except for the new supermarket, for a new batch of calories in the form of tasty foods, including alcohol. And if the guests still stay overnight (or we stay away), then throughout the day on January 1, we actively eat up all that remains “from the last year”, and yes even have fun joking that “we have not eaten since last year” , and the owners are happy – after all, they most of all want their culinary talents not to be in vain, but they don’t care about your figure.

Remember that a well-known salad “Olivier” did not originally contain no mayonnaise, and the more sausage – this in Soviet times, when mayonnaise was often scarce and was considered almost a luxury product, salad great French chef managed to distort beyond recognition. Do not place the sausage – put low-fat boiled meat or fish – such as salmon, and surprise guests with new flavors of familiar dishes.

Plenty of vegetables and fruit
