Lunar New Year is full of gatherings, traditional foods, and long meals. But for many people, it also means blood sugar spikes, energy crashes, and feeling uncomfortable for a few days aferward from overdoing it.
You don’t need extreme restriction. You need a game plan.
Here are practical ways to stay steady while still enjoying the festivities:
Eat a healthy breakfast with a balance of protein, fiber, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. Don’t try to starve yourself all day just because there is a big dinner event coming up, you’ll end up way overeating and spike your blood sugar.
Workout in the morning and have post meal movement such as going for a walk after each meal to help your body utilize the extra sugar.
Choose water, unsweetened tea, or drinks with no added sugar instead of sugary beverages.
Fill half your plate with veggies first, then quarter protein and carbs for a colorful, balanced celebration plate.
Be selective about festive treats (Sweet mochi ball, sweet rice cake, etc) and control overall carb portions. Just have small portion, and go easy on the carb from the main entrée to save room for dessert if you plan to eat them.Celebration and health do not have to compete.

農曆新年充滿了團圓, 傳統美食和豐盛的大餐。但對許多人來說, 這也意味著血糖飆升, 能量驟降, 以及之後幾天因過度飲食而感到不適。
你不需要極度節食, 你需要的是一個可行以及實際的計劃。
以下是一些讓你在享受節日的同時保持血糖穩定的實用方法：
享用健康的早餐, 均衡攝取蛋白質, 纖維, 健康脂肪和粗糧碳水。不要因為即將參加盛大的晚宴就讓自己一整天挨餓, 那樣只會讓你吃得更多, 血糖飆升。早上進行鍛煉, 並在每餐後進行一些運動, 例如散步, 以幫助身體消耗多餘的糖分。選擇水, 無糖茶或不添加糖的飲料, 而不是含糖飲料。先將餐盤的一半裝滿蔬菜, 然後將四分之一裝滿蛋白質和碳水, 這樣就能得到一份色彩繽紛, 營養均衡的節日餐盤。節慶甜點 (如麻糬, 芝麻球, 年糕等) 要有所選擇，並控制碳水的 總攝取量。如果打算吃甜點, 主菜要少吃碳水, 這樣才能留出肚子吃甜點。慶祝和健康並不衝突。
