When it comes to winter, do many people's weight keep soaring? When it's cold in winter, people will naturally look for food to increase their calories. So it's not hard to explain why people have a good appetite and are prone to gain weight in winter!
Because the cold outside makes you have the instinct to eat and increase calories. Imagine if you don't know the cold outside in a heated room, then you don't want to eat so much. However, there are exceptions. Some people who are sensitive and romantic feel that it's fun and happy to eat hot things in cold weather, which is basically the case.
2. How to control the old cravings?
1. Drink more hot tea to warm your stomach
When the weather is cold, drink hot tea first to make your body feel warm, reduce your body's desire for heating, and not want to eat to warm your stomach, so that you can reduce the frequency of groups to eat spicy pots and mutton ovens. In addition to hot tea, you can also use some Chinese herbal tea, more flavor changes.
2. Eat less and eat more regularly and quantitatively
In winter, because your body needs more calories to maintain temperature, you always feel hungry, which is normal. But we need to learn to eat right. Every time we eat too much, our blood sugar will rise immediately. If the sugar content in the blood increases, the body will easily store fat. On the contrary, if you eat less each time, the sugar content in the blood will be less, so you can hardly gain weight.
Eat less and eat more is to use this principle. Eat 3-6 meals a day, and eat a little every time, not only won't make you feel like an empty stomach, but also the total calorie intake won't become more. Many people don't eat breakfast in the morning. You know there are seven hours of fasting time from noon to night. The consequence is that you want to go home and have a big meal. That's how obesity comes about.
3. Protein and vegetables increase satiety
Vegetables are definitely a good helper on your way to losing weight. You must keep this principle in mind. Protein food needs only one slap, so does meat food. If it's an egg, it's better to be small; you can eat any vegetables. Basically, we need to eat 350g of vegetables every day. When you eat 250g, you're already full. So when you eat, I suggest that you eat vegetables first. It's easy to feel full, which can prevent you from eating too many calories.
4. Take a bath to warm your baby
Bathing not only warms the body, but also improves metabolism. If you suddenly feel a big increase in appetite at home in winter, you may as well take a hot bath and go to bed as soon as possible, so as to control your appetite and avoid overeating. Also, you can often put warm baby on the stomach to warm it up, so that he won't always tell you 'I want to eat I want to eat'.
5. Try to choose low calorie food
When the human body feels cold, the brain will give instructions to try to warm the body. At this time, the brain will unconsciously look for foods such as sugars and starches that are easily converted into energy. However, the brain is easy to cheat. It can also reduce the brain's desire for food if it wants to eat something, choose food with low calorie, or chew it several times more.
So, you might as well prepare some low calorie snacks, such as sugar free gum, vegetable sticks, fruits with lower calories, such as guava, to cope with the rising appetite in winter at any time.
6. Carbohydrates should be appropriate
All the rice, bread and noodles we eat belong to this category. As a source of energy for the body, carbohydrates are a necessity, and excessive intake will certainly produce fat. But if you eat it in moderation, it won't make you fat at all. An adult's carbohydrate per meal should be controlled at about 150g.
