In the winter season, many people like to eat delicious food and sit under a blanket with a cup of cocoa - it is not surprising that excess weight is quickly gained.

According to some experts, in the autumn and winter periods body weight increases by at least 5%.

This happens due to the physiology of the body - in cold weather, the body accumulates fatty tissue due to the lack of heat and sunlight.

If you don't want to gain weight, then the first thing you should think about is warm clothes.

What else needs to be done

Obviously, regular physical activity in the form of exercise machines is necessary - you can also just take long walks.

But special attention should be paid to the diet, which should include more protein.

It turns out that you can eat lean meat, fish and low-fat dairy products. Protein shakes are also allowed.

Continue to include vegetables, fruits and greens in your diet – meals should be taken 4-6 times a day.
