A lot of us are going to spend this festive season gorging on a variety of food including mithais, snacks and even chocolates. It doesn’t stop there because where there is food there is also a lot of drinking. While not everybody may consume alcohol, there are going to be others who consumed aerated and other soft drinks. 

Now, it is hard to avoid these, especially if you want to make the most of the season for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world in March 2020. Since the celebrations were muted last year, people are definitely going to go all out and enjoy themselves by partying with friends and family.  
 
For the health-conscious people who are weary of how much they consume or for every other person who has no restraint on how much they consume during this time, we have got you covered with some expert tips. Mid-day reached out to Sakina Diwan, dietician with Bhatia Hospital to share easy hacks to keep the weight in check this Diwali and the rest of the festive season.  

Diwan says that bingeing on traditional delicacies associated with the festival can easily give a sugar overdose. Eating all the different kinds of food can wreak havoc on one's waistline because they are usually loaded with sugar and fat, which only adds to the calorie load and one should try to stay away from such kind of food.
