Should I diet right after Tet?

Dieting to lose weight is good but requires the right approach, especially after Tet. If applied incorrectly, dieting can lead to some unwanted side effects, according to the website Eating Well (USA).

To lose weight sustainably, experts recommend adopting a balanced diet combined with regular exercise instead of strict dieting.

One of the things people need to consider when deciding to diet right after Tet is that it can shock the body. This is because during Tet, many people eat very freely. So after Tet, suddenly applying a calorie-restricted diet, even cutting out entire food groups that are high in starch and sugar, can cause shock, even making the diet plan fail.

Uncontrolled eating behavior can also cause weight gain. Furthermore, following a post-holiday diet will require limiting certain foods and significantly reducing calorie intake. This can have a negative impact on the body's metabolism.

When you restrict calories too much, your body goes into survival mode and slows down your metabolism to limit energy expenditure. This makes it harder to lose weight in the long run.

Instead of jumping straight into a post-holiday diet, people should focus on establishing healthy habits gradually. Experts recommend starting by incorporating healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, and protein-rich meats into your meals, drinking enough water, and exercising regularly. This is necessary because it will give you time to adjust and re-establish balance before embarking on any major changes in your diet.

One important thing people need to remember is that sustainable weight loss will be achieved by adjusting and maintaining healthy habits such as eating and exercising over the long term, rather than a strict diet for a short period of time, according to Eating Well.
