In winter, wrapped in a thick coat and nestled on the sofa, watching the weight scale numbers quietly climb up, do you feel like your weight loss plan is going to be shelved again? Don't give up in a hurry, there are actually many 'invisible fat burning codes' hidden in this season.

1. Low temperature itself is a natural fat burner
1. Cold activates brown fat
The human body has two types of adipose tissue, white fat is responsible for storing energy, while brown fat can burn heat to produce heat. When the ambient temperature is below 18 ℃, the activity of brown fat increases by 300%, which is equivalent to consuming 200 more calories per day and jogging for 20 minutes.
2. Trembling can also burn calories
When the body feels cold, muscles will produce heat through involuntary trembling. This kind of trembling can consume 400 calories per hour, more than brisk walking. Reduce indoor heating usage time appropriately to allow the body to experience mild cold stimulation.
2. Dietary adjustments are more effective than dieting
1. Increase the proportion of protein intake
Protein has a thermal effect of up to 30% on food, which means that more energy is consumed during digestion and absorption. Ensure a daily intake of 1.2-1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, preferably eggs, fish, soy products, etc.
2. Smart Choice of Warm Food
Ginger and cinnamon are isothermal ingredients that can promote blood circulation, and capsaicin in chili peppers can temporarily increase metabolic rate by 15%. Boiling soup and drinking tea with these natural ingredients not only warms the stomach but also accelerates metabolism.
3. Sleep is the golden period for weight loss in winter
1. Go to bed early and avoid the temptation of late night snacks
Winter nights are longer, and staying up late can easily trigger a desire to eat. Ensuring that you fall asleep before 22:30 can reduce the additional intake of 300-500 calories at night and promote normal secretion of leptin.
2. Heat consumption in bed
During deep sleep, the body's repair tissues consume energy. Maintaining a low temperature environment of 16-18 ℃ in the bedroom and covering it with a slightly thinner blanket can help the body burn fat gently throughout the night.
Try opening the zipper of the down jacket and using warm water instead of hot drinks. These small changes can activate the body's "winter fat burning mode". Remember, healthy weight loss is a marathon, and finding a method that suits your pace is the key.
