5 TIPS TO AVOID WINTER WEIGHT GAIN
By preventing winter weight gain, you will be one big step ahead when it's time to ramp up training in spring. Hydration and smart eating go a long way. When you need a little help, rely on Hammer's Phytolean and ChitoLean.
Sugar and fat-laden desserts, party noshes and sauces, sugar-sweetened cocktails. Add reduced exercise and stress to the mix, and you've got a recipe for weight gain. During winter even the most disciplined athlete can struggle to hold the line against extra kilograms.
Use these tips to devise your defense:
1. Water works. Proper hydration is always important, but during the holidays it can be a valuable ally. Aim to drink two full glasses of water before you leave for that holiday gathering to help curb your appetite and counteract the dehydrating effect of alcohol.
2. Rein in appetite. Get a jump on cravings now with Phytolean and ChitoLean. This suppresses appetite and helps to increase fat metabolism without the use of harmful stimulants. It also contains a plant-based precursor of serotonin, which may enhance sleep quality and reduce sugar cravings.
3. Go for colour! Be proactive at those parties. Instead of standing at the buffet table, wondering whether to choose salty/starchy nachos or high-fat Brie cheese, bring the hostess a tray of kale wraps, stuffed cherry tomatoes, and sliced sweet peppers. These veggies are loaded with nutrients and fiber yet low in calories. Lean proteins such as steamed shrimp, turkey breast, or small handfuls of nuts, also are good choices.
4. Easy on the white stuff. Bypass the sauces, gravies, and dressings, as well as starchy carbs like bread, chips, white rice, pasta, and cookies. On those rare times when you know you'll indulge, be sure to take Phytolean. It blocks the digestion of starchy carbs, enhances fat burning, and optimises blood sugar levels.
5. Get your ZZZs. Research has shown that not getting 8 hours of quality sleep can affect your body's insulin and ghrelin levels, leading to overeating. Ensure a full night of restful sleep!
