The 3 major pitfalls of losing weight in winter, 90% of people have fallen into them

Does the weight loss plan frequently fail during winter? Don't rush to blame yourself for poor willpower, it's likely that you've fallen into these common traps for winter weight loss! Today, let's uncover the truths that make you lose weight and gain weight.

1. Self comfort of "It's okay to eat more in cold weather"

1. Underestimating winter calorie needs

In fact, modern people's actual calorie needs in winter are only 50-100 calories more than in summer, which is about equivalent to the calories of a small apple.

2. Overestimating exercise consumption

Exercising in a heated room consumes 20% less calories than imagined, which can easily lead to a compensatory psychology of "eating recklessly after exercise".

2. Misconception of "It's normal to gain weight in winter"

1. The truth about fat accumulation

The average weight gain in winter may not seem like much, but if not controlled, it can accumulate 10-15 kilograms in 5 years.

2. Losing weight in early spring is more difficult

Research shows that the fat accumulated in winter is more stubborn, and it takes twice as much time to lose it the following year.

3. Procrastination psychology of "waiting for the weather to warm up before starting"

1. Metabolic memory effect

After a continuous decrease in metabolic rate for three months, even if exercise is resumed, it takes longer to restart the metabolic engine.

2. The golden period for habit formation

Winter is the best time to cultivate healthy habits, and indoor exercise is easier to adhere to and form patterns.

Practical suggestions for solving the trap:

• Use cold color tableware such as mint green to reduce food consumption by 15%

• Choose warm foods with high protein, such as stewed chicken breast, seafood Congee

• Try the "20 minute rule": wait for 20 minutes when you want to eat snacks

• Purchase home fitness equipment to create a 3 square meter fitness corner

• Record body fat rate every week rather than weight, more scientifically reflect changes

Winter is actually the best time to adjust your physique, master the correct method, and you can lose weight quietly when others are "sticking to the fall fat". Remember, weight loss is not about fighting against the body, but about learning to live in harmony with the seasons!
