To lose weight in winters, Increase the protein intake and sleep well.
Protein has been considered as the best and most effective nutrient for weight loss and good looking physique. Especially during winters when activity levels are low and food intakes are on the higher side, a protein rich diet boosts metabolism, decreases appetite and regulates several weight related hormones.
Dietician Sheela Seharawat says that proteins and good rest during the winter months helps in weight management and belly fats. Our weights are actively regulated by our brain and higher protein intake increases levels of satiety hormones and decrease levels of hunger hormones. Hence, by replacing protein with carbs and fats we instigate satiety hormones responsible for weight control. Meat, fish, dairy, eggs and legumes are excellent sources of proteins and should be included in our daily diets during winters.
