Avoid sweets and spices: Keep your tongue under control, and don’t indulge in sweets for these couple of days. Diwali is all about gulab jamuns, jalebis, kheer, and so many more. So keep patience till then and avoid all sweet dishes and spicy dishes.
Breakfast: Breakfast is the best meal for the whole day. Never skip your breakfast and always have a healthy one. Have two bread toasts with a boiled egg, and if you like to intake caffeine, then have a black coffee without sugar or opt for skimmed milk.
Exercise and yoga: In this situation, it is not possible to go to a regular gym, thus do morning yoga and some freehand exercise for a minimum of 20 to 30 mins in a day.
Maintain sleep cycle: Do not get sleep deprived or sleep at odd hours. It affects digestion leading to acidity problems. Afternoon nap and sleeping in late nights may affect your weight input, so try to maintain a sleep cycle.
Healthy food: Try to include healthy food like a good amount of protein, vitamins, and fibers in your meals or snacks, and at the same time, try to avoid carbohydrates in your meals. Eat lots of fruits and veggies and replace sugar with jaggery or honey.
