“Let's stick to the two main meals and continue following the healthy habits you've cultivated, as they will help you maintain a consistent and balanced routine,” says Vivek.

He highlights five key points to watch out for, especially during the festive season:

“Following the habits you've built around your meals helps maintain stability in your routine and prevents unnecessary snacking,” Thiruvengadam explains.

“Many people consume large amounts of tea, coffee, or alcohol. These beverages can add significant calories without you realising it,” he warns.

“Drinks like tea, coffee, and alcohol can easily contribute 500–600 calories a day, which can affect your fitness goals if you're not careful,” Thiruvengadam adds.

“Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day, even before consuming other beverages. Staying hydrated is key,” he notes.

“Maintaining hydration and being mindful of liquid calories allows you to enjoy the festivities while staying on track with your health,” he says.
