The Best Winter Diet:


In winter, you can very well lose weight, if you do not forget about the locomotor activity. And this winter it is the best of fat-burning effect. Of all the types of aerobic activity is the best option for burning energy - a cross-country skiing. If you are walking or running you spend 350-400 kcal per hour, then the cross-country skiing - nearly 2 times more, about 700 kcal. This can be a ski trip or a weekend skiing with children 2-3 times a week.

Since the winter we spend more energy on warming, it is also in favor of weight loss. However, it is important to try not to increase the caloric intake due to fatty and sugary foods, and include in the daily diet of hot soups. Soup less calories than a main dish, warms and helps to reduce weight. Hot soup can be eaten at lunch and dinner - instead of the second.

To give the soup a long satiety, put into it a piece of meat, poultry or fish, plenty of vegetables and some cereals. And while snacking is advisable to drink hot beverages: tea, organic coffee. Not to lean on sweets, allow yourself 1-2 teaspoons honey or jam, and in the morning, drink a cup of hot cocoa.
