As the holidays approach, many wonder if they should lose weight or prepare for festive meals. Gastroenterologist Roxana Voica advises gradual weight loss of about 500 grams per week through balanced meals and regular activity. Rapid weight loss often results in losing water and muscle rather than fat. To prepare for holiday feasts, she suggests moderate calorie restriction and proper meal organization, emphasizing the importance of vegetables, quality proteins, and whole grains. Sleep and physical activity are also crucial for maintaining metabolic balance. Voica warns against extreme diets and encourages consulting a doctor if weight loss efforts fail.
