How to Maintain Ideal Body Weight at the End of the Year Holiday Moment

JAKARTA - The end of the year holiday is the right moment to gather with the extended family, by celebrating Christmas and the new year. The moment of gathering will be more exciting by enjoying delicious food.

However, although gathering with family and enjoying food is a fun thing, the consumption must be considered because it can cause weight gain.

Thus, you need to control the intake of food that enters the body. Here are some ways to maintain your weight so that it remains ideal at the end of the year holiday moments, quoted from Healthline, Tuesday, December 23, 2025.

1. Control portion of food

Although holiday foods are tempting to enjoy, be sure to keep your portion sizes under control. Eat in small portions so that you don't overdo it when eating heavy and fatty foods.

This can help you feel full, but your weight is still well maintained. If you have an appointment or an invitation to attend a big meal, consider reducing your meal portion at another time that day.

2. Eat a lot of fiber

During Christmas and New Year celebrations, the food that is often served is processed meat. You can still consume it, but make sure to continue to consume a lot of foods with high fiber such as vegetables and fruits.

Eating foods high in fiber can make the body feel full for longer. This way you can help keep your weight stable after a big meal at Christmas and New Year's.

3. Selectively choose dessert

At the end of the year, the dessert or dessert served will look tempting. You can still consume it, but you must be selective in choosing the dessert you want to eat.

Make sure you enjoy desserts that don't contain too much sugar and flour. This is because both of these ingredients contribute to contributing a lot of calories and significantly increasing weight.
