Winter weight loss must see! 3 Simple Habits to Quietly Lose Weight

In the cold winter, the howling wind always makes people want to snuggle in a warm blanket and eat snacks. Wrapped in a down jacket, I dare not even weigh myself on the scale, but the "swimming ring" around my waist honestly reminds me: it's time to control this mouth. Don't rush to despair, in fact, winter is the golden period for quietly losing weight - the human body will burn more calories to maintain body temperature in low temperature environments. Seize these three inconspicuous habits and start them next year When you take off your thick coat in spring, you will thank yourself for being self disciplined now.

1. Drink a glass of water for breakfast

1. Warm water+lemon slices

After getting up, drink 300ml of warm water and squeeze in two fresh lemons. Citric acid can activate digestive enzymes, and warm water promotes the excretion of metabolic waste deposited at night. Pay attention to the water temperature not exceeding 40 ℃ to avoid damaging vitamin C.

2. Refuse to drink chilled drinks

Drinking ice water in winter mornings can stimulate blood vessel contraction and actually reduce metabolic efficiency. Room temperature water or warm water can gently awaken the intestines and stomach, helping to fully absorb nutrients for breakfast in the future.

3. Seize the golden time

Drink water after brushing your teeth and before breakfast, and wait for 15 minutes before eating. This gap period allows water to fully participate in fluid circulation, avoiding the dilution of stomach acid caused by drinking water while eating.

II. Change the eating order

1. Eat protein [SEP], eggs, soybean milk and other high-quality proteins first to stimulate the secretion of cholecystokinin to produce a sense of fullness. Experiments have shown that this can reduce the calorie intake of meals by 12%.

2. Eat dietary fiber again.

When stir frying vegetables or cold dishes, connect them. Dietary fiber swells and fills the stomach space when it comes into contact with water. Recommend dark vegetables such as broccoli and spinach for higher nutrient density.

3. Finally, eat carbohydrates [SEP]. At this point, the stomach is already half full, so naturally reduce the intake of staple foods. Prioritize choosing low GI carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes and oats to avoid the urge to overeat caused by drastic fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

3. Cleverly use environmental temperature difference

1. Reduce indoor temperature

Set the heating to 18-20 ℃, allowing the body to continuously produce heat to maintain body temperature. Research has confirmed that this temperature range can not only prevent catching a cold, but also consume an additional 80-100 calories per day.

2. Segmented insulation method

Wearing a single-layer sweater and a thin down vest indoors is more conducive to heat dissipation than wearing a single thick sweater. When the hands and feet are cold, you can rub the palms hot and apply them to the back of the neck. This area has a temperature sensor that can quickly transmit a warm signal.

3. Seize the cold moment

Turn off the heating half an hour before going out to let the body adapt to the temperature difference. At this point, the basal metabolic rate will briefly increase by 15%, making it suitable for doing some simple stretching exercises. These habits may seem insignificant, but like a snowball effect, persisting for two months can lead to significant changes. Remember that the core of winter weight loss is "moistening things silently". Instead of rushing to diet and harming the body, it is better to let the body naturally lose weight in a comfortable state. When others are still lamenting about 'putting on winter fat', you have already achieved a healthy and fit body in the easiest way possible.
