First of all, when we feel cold, the body will do two things to generate heat: the first is trembling and involuntary contraction of muscles, commonly known as "chills." The second is that the body will activate brown fat, which is a special kind of fat, which will promote the consumption of white fat and accelerate the metabolism of the human body.
There are brown and white fats in the human body:
White fat accumulates under the skin and is responsible for storing excess heat; Brown fat is responsible for decomposing white fat that leads to obesity, converting the latter into carbon dioxide, water and heat, and does not store heat itself.
Studies have shown that the vitality of brown fat needs to be stimulated by cold. Although brown fat still remains in adults, these "beneficial" fats can only be activated in cold conditions and play a role in losing weight.
Both of these things will increase the consumption of calories, so winter does consume more calories than summer, which is the so-called theory that it is easier to lose fat in winter.
Is it easier and easier to lose weight in winter? The fact may not be as simple as we think. What is the principle premise mentioned above? Yes, when you feel cold, and I think many people can't meet this condition, we can't wear a thin coat to catch cold outside in order to lose weight! Or you can't turn on air conditioning and heating at home, you can't hide in a warm bed, and you will catch a cold if you don't lose weight.
If you wrap up from neck to ankle as soon as you go out, you won't feel cold all afternoon, the air conditioner at home is never turned off, or even if the heating is on all day in the north, it is warmer in winter than in summer, and you don't like sports at all, so you won't have a chance to consume those calories, and naturally you won't lose weight.
In addition, many people are too lazy to move in winter. The expected life is that it is snowing outside the window and freezing. You are wrapped in a quilt at home, with the heating on, watching a drama and full of snacks in your hand! There are many festivals in winter, especially the Spring Festival. No one eats anything good in the New Year, and it is only more difficult to lose weight in winter.
But then again, if you can keep the habit of exercising in winter, I believe you won't be very fat. You can lose weight quickly even if you are fat. At least where is your perseverance? As long as you work hard, you can bear it, and you can lose weight regardless of the four seasons.
There is another very important point to add. We must avoid two kinds of food in winter. The first is that there is too much sugar, because our body will enter a stage of low insulin sensitivity in winter. At this time, eating more sugar has a greater impact on the body; The second is to avoid drinking a lot of broth. Broth is not as nutritious as you think. On the contrary, it is just a collection of fat and purine.
abstract
It is up to you whether it is easier to lose weight in winter. It will be much easier to lose weight if you are willing to move and refuse many foods with high calories and sugar. On the contrary, if you don't want to move, you are willing to continue eating, and that winter will only make you fat!
