The leading nutritionist of the Performance Group holding Anton Berdov called RIA News ways for Russians not to gain excess weight with the onset of cold weather, when their desire to eat fatty foods increases. In his opinion, choosing a healthier snack will help maintain weight.
“Be mindful of your choice of food and replace unhealthy foods with similar, but healthy ones. For example, chips can be replaced with vegetable sticks with hummus, bread with cereal snacks, and chocolate bar with fruit. You also need to remember to control your calorie intake and reduce your calorie intake by 10-15 percent of your normal daily value, while sticking to a ratio of 30 percent protein, 30 percent fat, and 40 percent carbohydrates. This is exactly the recommendation that will allow you to stay in shape during the cold season, as well as during the lockdown period, ”said the expert.
He noted that with the arrival of cold weather, people noticeably decrease in activity, which is why they spend much less time outdoors. This leads to the fact that people have a desire to have another snack, the doctor said. Berdov explained that the body thus tries to “warm” itself from the inside, speeding up metabolism and maintaining the usual body temperature. However, he stressed that, despite the emerging desire to make an extra meal, you should limit yourself, otherwise it can lead to sad consequences.
Earlier, nutritionist, professor of the Federal Biomedical Agency (FMBA) of Russia, Margarita Koroleva said that chocolate cheers up. This is due to tryptophan, a substance that promotes the production of endorphins, or “hormones of happiness.”
