The Christmas goose has long since been eaten and everyday life has returned. Only one thing has stayed with us: The winter fat that won't go away. But there are a few tricks that can melt away the pounds and make it easier to lose weight in winter.
Lose weight in winter: Always eat in the morning - preferably Harz cheese
Never skip breakfast: If you don't eat anything in the morning, you will get cravings later on, which often end up in eating fattening foods. It is therefore better to lay a good foundation in the morning. Losing weight in winter is usually more difficult than in summer. The body is programmed for "cozy" and prefers the sofa to the gym.
Harz cheese, your friend and helper: The low-fat "Stinkekäse" may not be to everyone's taste, but it is an ally when it comes to losing weight: 100 g of Stinkekäse has only 125 calories and just 0.7 g of fat, but an incredible 30 g of protein. Athletes also love this fitness bomb, as protein helps to build muscle and break down fat. Harz cheese is also a valuable source of calcium, good for bones, teeth and muscles. It also contains vitamin B, which strengthens the nerves.
Water march: warm water fills us up
Drink warm water in small sips during hunger pangs and before every meal. The warm water not only fills the stomach and temporarily fills you up, but also cleanses the body and removes toxins.
Take your time when eating: You will only feel full after around 20 minutes. If you gorge yourself too quickly, your body will let you know far too late that it is full. Excess calories can be avoided by eating slowly.
Lose weight in winter: Chili helps to burn fat
Chili heats things up: The substance capsaicin is responsible for the spiciness and is able to increase the body's heat production by 25 percent. The increase in body temperature must be compensated for by sweating. To do this, the body uses energy and burns fat in the process. Chili is therefore a fat killer and makes it easier to lose weight in winter.
