Ahead of New Year's Eve and, of course, New Year's feast. And these are fatty foods seasoned with mayonnaise, salads seasoned with mayonnaise, and a bunch of sweets. If you are a fan of healthy lifestyles and proper nutrition, then you definitely want to refuse this food. But how to do this so as not to offend the hostess of the table?
Pick your recipe
Whether or not it is everyone’s personal affair!
People from childhood are accustomed to the fact that food, and even more so a festive table, is a kind of ritual that brings people closer and disposes to communication. Therefore, in the first place, it seems to us that refusing food, we refuse to communicate. It causes discomfort and makes us eat even when we do not want to. It is worth remembering that to eat or not, this is a private matter for everyone. If you have a fear that a quarrel will arise because of this, they will be offended, then you need to consult a psychologist.
Avoid Persuasion!
In order not to waste nerves and strength at the New Year's table, there are several methods.
- Do not refuse directly. Let them bring you 10 salads and a lot of fried potatoes in a plate, remember - you do not have to eat all this.
- Let your plate not be empty. Fill it, creating the appearance of a full plate.
- Immediately find the dish you want to eat. And when they ask you why you don’t eat olivier, you can safely say that you left the place out for that dessert.
- Eat slowly and gradually. Do not take many salads at once. And it is better to gradually, one at a time, impose in small portions, so you create the feeling that you are constantly eating.
- Another hint is the container. Bring it with you and ask him to put everything that you can’t eat, so as not to offend the mistress.
"Still put?"
Or how to refuse an additive? In order to refuse additional treats on New Year's Eve, sometimes it’s enough to say only one polite phrase.
- "Thanks, no"
- "Thank you, but a little later."
- "Thank you, I’ve eaten up."
- "Thanks for the care, but I'm already full"
