I gain three pounds during every festive season. What should I do if I gain weight during the Chinese New Year?

As the saying goes, "Every festival makes you gain 3 pounds." We spend the New Year slim and beautiful, gathering with friends and family, eating and drinking, and having fun. However, after drinking enough wine and eating well, the flesh on our bodies begins to grow wildly. When the festival is over, we gain more than 3 pounds. At this time, many friends start to worry about how to lose weight. Don't worry, I will give you a few tips to help you lose weight easily.

1. Set a fixed meal time

Eat three meals a day on time. Don't eat too much at each meal. Eat until you are 70% to 80% full. Chew slowly when eating, so that the brain can accurately receive the signal of fullness and avoid eating too much. Also, eat a full breakfast, a good lunch, and a small dinner.

2. Stop snacking

At this time, we must give up all kinds of sweet snacks and drinks during the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, most of the New Year snacks are probably saved up, and most of them are high-calorie foods. At this time, we must give them up. It is recommended to replace them with fresh fruits and vegetables, which are healthy and nutritious. The vitamins, dietary fiber and other nutrients in fresh fruits and vegetables can help us lose weight effectively.

3. Control the intake of staple food

At this time, it is recommended to replace refined white rice and flour with coarse grains for staple food, such as corn, oats, yam, sweet potato, etc. These coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber, have a strong sense of fullness, can continuously supply energy to the body, stabilize blood sugar, and promote intestinal peristalsis.

4. Add extra meals reasonably

If you eat less at this time, you will definitely feel hungry between meals, so you should choose healthy foods as snacks. It is recommended to choose natural foods, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, etc. The meal time is 10:30 am and 3:30 pm.

5. Cook your own meals at home

If you have time, I suggest you go home and cook for yourself. You can cook as little salt as possible and make it healthier and more nutritious. If you eat out, it is difficult to avoid eating oily dishes. And if you eat out with colleagues or friends, it is easy to eat a lot along with others, so cooking at home is the best option.

If you have enough self-control and can stick to these 5 methods, I believe you will be able to return to your original beautiful appearance in 2 months.
