Only by refusing to be lazy can you lose weight in winter

　　“The weather is cold, and getting up every day is a difficult test, let alone running and fitness..." As the outdoor temperature drops in winter, people's willingness to exercise is also significantly reduced. Survey results released by Questionnaire.com show that compared with other seasons, 57.3% of respondents exercise less frequently in winter. According to statistics provided by a weight loss service provider, people who lose weight after winter have far less control over their diet than in the other three seasons. Their willingness to lose weight is significantly reduced, and they are prone to "lazy rebound."

　　Only 11.8% of respondents insist on doing so every day in winter exercise

　　“After winter entered Guangzhou, my fitness time was obviously reduced, especially morning running. I haven’t run for two weeks. ”Ms. Zhang, a white-collar worker, is a "recruit" in fitness. She just insisted on morning jogging for a month. Due to the arrival of cold air, she had to interrupt her fitness plan. Ms. Zhang is just one of the representatives whose sports plans were put on hold after the "quick freezing weather" entered.

　　According to a survey of 2,003 respondents conducted by Questionnaire.com, 57.3% of the respondents exercise less frequently in winter than in other seasons, and only 11.8% of the respondents said they could exercise every day.

　　According to national statistics for the third quarter given by a weight loss service provider, after winter, the number of people seeking products to lose weight increased slightly, which means that fewer people actively exercise to lose weight. “According to our data, people over the age of 35 who have high work pressure are significantly less willing to lose weight after winter than in summer. female The desire to lose weight has dropped significantly. ”Relevant personnel from the marketing department of this weight loss service provider said that in winter, the number of people seeking ways to lose weight through other channels besides fitness is increasing. “For example, body-shaping underwear also has a certain effect on weight loss, and sales have increased since winter. ”

　　“I usually gain about 5 pounds in winter. If I go home for the New Year, my weight gain will be even more obvious. ”Mr. Li, a newcomer in the workplace, said that winter is his "lazy period". He only feels that he does not get enough sleep every day and cannot spend more time exercising. In addition, “At the end of the year, there are more social activities and more dining out. Usually we need to eat out more than twice a week, and the diet control plan is also ruined.”

　　"Eat more and exercise less" in cold weather is an inducement for weight gain

　　It is understood that there are more "fattening inducements" in winter than in summer. Guangzhou Red Cross Society Hospital Tan Rongshao, director of the nutrition department, said that when winter is cold, the body will naturally want to eat more to increase calories and keep out the cold.； People spend more time indoors, and the corresponding opportunities to come into contact with snacks also increase, but the time for activities decreases. “In winter, the human body has a natural need for calories, so it will crave more meat and foods high in fat. The intake of fruits and vegetables that are light and cold will naturally decrease. These are all inducements for weight gain. ”Tan Rongshao said, "White-collar workers should not underestimate the various snacks stored in the office. In fact, eating nuts, potato chips, and biscuits has more calories than eating. ”

　　Experts suggest that the general principle of diet control for "homebodies" in winter should be low sugar and low fat. When the amount of exercise is reduced, they should eat more foods rich in vitamins, and generally consume 1,500 to 1,700 calories per day. To put it simply, office white-collar workers should eat 1 to 2 taels of rice per meal, and eat less meat and more vegetables. But diet control is relative control. People who exercise more can eat more, and people who exercise less need to eat less. “For people who can maintain exercise in winter, it is reasonable to consume more calories than in summer, but it is not recommended to drink alcohol or consume high-calorie foods every day. ”say experts.

　　Winter running advice

　　1. Running in winter depends on the weather.

　　Weather is an important factor that people pay attention to when running. Winter is prone to smog. Going out for a run on a smog day can do more harm than good. It is recommended to avoid outdoor exercise as much as possible. On rainy days, the road surface will be slippery, which increases the risk of sports injuries. It is recommended to run indoors.

　　2. The best time to run is in the evening

　　The air quality is not very good in the morning in winter, so it is not suitable for running. In the afternoon or evening, the air quality is suitable, and people's physical fitness and flexibility are at their best at this time, which is suitable for high-intensity exercise. Running at this time is less likely to cause sports injuries. People with lumbar disc herniation experience greater pressure on their lumbar spine at night and are more susceptible to damage. It is recommended not to run at night. You should also pay more attention when running.

　　3. Winter running should be done with the wind behind you.

　　Running into the wind is not conducive to maintaining good running posture, and it is easy to catch cold. It is recommended to run against the wind as much as possible when running outdoors. If it’s very windy, it’s best to run indoors.

　　4. Dress appropriately for winter running

　　Running in winter requires a lot of equipment, and we should pay attention to two aspects: one is to keep warm, and the other is to wick away sweat. To avoid catching a cold, it is recommended to wear gloves and a hat when running in winter. Wear three layers of clothing, the underwear wicks away sweat, the outer layer is windproof, and the middle layer keeps you warm. The outerwear should not be too restrictive or too loose. Too tight and unable to stretch, too loose and high resistance when running. Cotton clothes are comfortable, but they absorb sweat very much and are not conducive to perspiration, making it easy to catch colds. Therefore, do not wear cotton underwear when running. As for shoes, if possible, choose professional running shoes.
