Why we gain weight over the holidays: main mistakes

If every New year you gain a few pounds, it is time to understand what you are doing wrong.

The experts have collected five common errors which appear extra inches at the waist and then have to start all over again.

1. You are sitting at home because it’s cold outside

If your plans for the holidays include view only accumulated a new TV series with a mug of hot tea or something stronger and high-calorie, we have some bad news for you: that day when you get up for work, you Wake up with a couple of extra pounds. The lack of any physical activity — even a short walk to store and back — slows down the metabolism, and thus affects the figure. So I suggest to dress warmly and to quickly go out — studies show that walking in the cold seasons contribute to increased energy and better burn fat, especially brown, is hard to get rid of.

2. You eat out of boredom

The first habit is to spawn the second you sit at home, refuse going out at the moment and because I miss it. It is from idleness, not from hunger, as you might think, you are constantly drawn to all the sweets and unhealthy fat. The surest way to avoid this is to find something else to do, besides watching funny videos and Christmas movies. For example, choose ice-skating or learn skiing, you will love it!

3. You go to bed late

Habit to go to bed and get up at the same time often goes out of control during the Christmas holidays, and to restore the mode after the holidays is not so easy. Moreover, disrupting your sleep, people are most susceptible to the recruitment of extra pounds appetite increases and endless desire to eat something not lost for a minute. For the sleep disturbance should a violation of the regulation of lipid metabolism, hence there is a craving for high-calorie foods. So try to stay on time, even if on the TV show new series about Sherlock Holmes.

4. You stop drinking water

Throughout the years you have developed this habit and do not forget to drink water every day, but on vacation I decided to relax and even forget about the existence of this fluid. Not long ago, we destroyed the myth that everyone needs to drink eight glasses of water a day, but here about its benefits and the need for the body, no one argues. Water is involved in nearly all chemical processes and also regulates the metabolism, and its speed — as you know — directly affects the amount of deferred fat. If there is a choice between sweet juice and plain water, we hope now you will make the right decision.

5. You have no control over what and how much to eat

During the holidays we eat literally everything that we see, not thinking about the fact that the stomach has long been full, and that new jeans became tight. Of course, everyone decides for themselves what, how much and when to eat. But if you want to maintain the shape and not to detect on the scales terrible for you after the holidays, try not to forget about three main meals, light snacking, control portion sizes and minimise the intake of junk food. Otherwise, why would you then lose weight for the New year?
