Winter body management: Eat less of these and your pants will immediately loosen up

As winter arrives, the jeans in the wardrobe begin to protest collectively, and the zippers seem to be playing tug of war with you? Don't rush to blame down jackets for appearing overweight, some foods are the invisible masters of quietly inflating waistlines. When hot pot and milk tea became standard for keeping warm, the numbers on the weight scale also dropped along with the thermometer - but in completely opposite directions.

1. Sweet Trap of Sugar Oil Mixture

1. Sugar containing Beverages Disguised as Warm Stomach Companions

A hot drink cup held in the hand may contain more sugar than ice cream, and some instant mixed drinks are equivalent to swallowing 12 sugar cubes per cup. The salty and sweet foam on the top of milk covered tea is actually a mixture of plant cream and syrup. It takes 90 minutes to drink a cup of tea.

2. The heat mine of crispy Dim sum

The secret of the clear layers of egg tarts lies in the repeatedly folded butter, which is equivalent to half a bowl of rice. Every 100g of certain online red Fried Dough Twists has 23g of fat. Eating two is equivalent to pouring a tablespoon of cooking oil into the body.

2. The Water Storage Magic of High Sodium Foods

1. The dehydration illusion of pickled foods

Sausage and smoked meat lose water rather than fat during the production process, with sodium content exceeding twice the recommended daily intake per 100 grams. These salts are like sponges, causing the body to desperately lock in moisture, and waking up in the morning may cause finger rings to get stuck.

2. Hidden salt pot for thick soup base

White soup hotpot may seem light, but in fact, a single serving of meat can meet the sodium requirement for the whole day. After some concentrated soup pieces melt, the sodium content is comparable to seawater, which is also why the weight of the next day after eating hotpot will be "inflated".

III. Metamorphosis of refined carbon and water

1. The fast rising sugar of refined white pasta

Mantou noodles were stripped of the dietary fiber that delayed digestion during processing, and entered the body like a glucose releaser when the fast forward button was pressed. This can lead to frequent insulin release, making it easier to promote fat accumulation.

2. Overprocessing of ready to eat foods

Instant noodle cakes are fried and dehydrated, with a calorie density three times that of rice. The dextrin added to some fast food Congee will make the blood sugar ride the roller coaster, and you will be hungry faster and eat more.

4. The calorie masking method for alcoholic beverages

1. Liquid bread for fermented alcoholic beverages

500ml of beer is equivalent to gnawing on half a bowl of rice, while the calories for red wine mainly come from residual sugar. The body will preferentially metabolize alcohol, forcing the digestion process of other foods to pause and making it easier to convert into fat storage.

2. Sugar fried seasoning drinks Although the alcohol content of a winter limited edition hot drink is low, the added syrup and honey make a single cup exceed 300 calories. Cream liqueur transforms into a dessert drink, and two cups are equivalent to eating the entire butter cake.

You don't have to blacken all your favorite foods. Try replacing milk tea with sugar free flower and fruit tea, and dipping hot pot with millet pepper instead of satay sauce. Choose whole wheat flour instead of refined white flour, and eat some high protein foods before drinking alcohol. When the body adapts to these subtle adjustments, you will find that the space inside the down jacket is quietly increasing.
