In winter, a person gains an average of 2 to 5 kg. The reasons lie in the metabolism, which is influenced by the different seasons.
You may have noticed that your mood improves after eating a piece of chocolate. The secret is in the hormone of happiness - serotonin, which is extremely necessary and whose production is stimulated by chocolate. Among other things, it contains a large amount of sugar, so that, improving our mood, we get excess simple carbohydrates, which gradually turn into unnecessary pounds. If your chocolate is a weakness, use some tricks: do not give it up completely, but try to consume only black, high in cocoa, without fillings and impurities. Eat 2-3 pieces a day, get the rest through chocolate flavors - bath foam, chocolate-flavored cream, perfume or flavor with a chocolate hue - chocolate "atmosphere" does a great job.
In the struggle for a slender figure
When it is cold, the body needs a constant supply of carbohydrates. This is due to hormonal changes that lead to a deterioration in their absorption. According to our understanding, carbohydrates are primarily sweet and pasta. Replace muffins with dried or fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink freshly squeezed juices: carrot juice in combination with a little cream will provide you with carotene, and citrus juices - with vitamin C. Cut the fruit into pieces before eating, so you will be full faster than if you eat them directly . As we cut and clean the fruit, we subconsciously assume that the feeding has already begun.
Brazil nuts are a suitable food product in winter, which is not very popular. It is an excellent source of selenium (helps fight depression), B vitamins and vitamin E (needed for serotonin production). But remember that everything is useful if consumed in moderation: do not take more than 1 tablespoon of these nuts!
Earlier, people stored their body with fat for the winter to provide more heat, which explains gaining weight this season. In addition, when the temperature drops, the metabolism slows down - everything we consume is spent sparingly. Therefore, in winter our body "looks" for the steak with potatoes, but you should limit fatty meats and high-calorie foods. Instead of pork, eat chicken or turkey, partially replace meat with legumes rich in cellulose.
The sport for a slender figure
In winter, the desire to move decreases, which is also a result of slow metabolism. Often, regardless of the effort you put in, the size of the waist and hips increases because the female body accumulates fat reserves in the lower body. Learn to ski and skate because: first - the metabolism speeds up significantly and the accumulated calories are burned faster and second - so you pay more attention to the leg muscles. In general, in winter it is good to put more strain on the lower limbs. Don't forget the pool - swimming burns fat wonderfully , which allows you to afford another piece of chocolate, which fills with tone and mood.
