Food at Carnival

Carnival is a popular festival marked by the display of sculptural bodies in parades at samba schools and street blocks.

In the period leading up to this season, everything goes to maintain good shape. Fad diets and prolonged fasting are common for those who want to lose weight and look good in the mirror before getting into the festivities, but poor diet and lack of hydration can lead to feeling unwell and putting an end to your party.

During Carnival it is important to pay attention to nutrition. Here are some tips:

  • If you want to lose weight before Carnival, see a nutritionist in advance. Prolonged fasting and restrictive diets can harm your health.
  • Remember to hydrate properly. When leaving, take a bottle of water.
  • Don't go long periods without eating.
  • Avoid “heavy” foods (feijoada, fried foods) before partying, as these can cause a feeling of sluggishness and discomfort.
  • Choose healthy and balanced meals.
  • Avoid excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
  • If you are going to eat on the street, make sure the hygiene and temperature of the food is maintained.

Stay tuned during Carnival. Eating properly ensures energy and a good mood to enjoy the best of this party.
