How to reduce weight in winter
Winter weight gain is usually unavoidable, and excessive weight gain can have an impact during growing holidays. It's colder and shorter, so it's harder to get outdoors and stick to the TV.
Losing weight in the winter might seem like Mission: Impossible. But packing on pounds is not inevitable. Here, 6 ways to winterize your approach to weight loss.
Wear your activity tracker every day
Maybe you've been inconsistent with wearing it lately, but wintertime is an ideal time to for usage. If you can't get a workout in, focus on getting 10,00 steps a day.
Get Some Sun
Even a heavy dose of artificial light, especially in the morning, may help suppress food cravings and the urge to overeat.
Pack your plate with protein
It keeps you feeling full longer and helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Even snacks should have at least 10 grams of protein.
Winter walking
Whether walking the dog or doing laps around the neighborhood, walking is a great low impact way to exercise. Being outdoors in the crisp, cold air helps clear your mind and reduce stress, while the extra energy needed to walk through snow or into the wind can help with weight loss.
Be carb smart.
Carbs are not the enemy. You can eat bread and pasta, but quality, quantity, and timing are key. Carbs that satiate, like vegetables, or those with protein and fiber, like beans and dairy, should be the bulk of your intake. You can have bread, pasta, and rice (starchy carbs) after a workout, when your body can best use them.
Focus on good fats
When cooking, opt for monounsaturated fats (nuts, olive oil and avocados), and polyunsaturated fats (walnuts, fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring, and sunflower seeds), but avoid hydrogenated and trans fats, which lurk in processed foods.
