I gain 3 pounds every Chinese New Year! 4 tips for losing weight during the Spring Festival to enjoy slim happiness

I gain 3 pounds every Chinese New Year! The Spring Festival reunion is something people look forward to but also fear getting hurt. The rich fish and meat and the table full of delicacies symbolize that the home will be filled with blessings and wealth in the new year. However, after eating so much from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the New Year, I unknowingly became fatter and looked more lucky.

Looking at my fat body, I often feel regretful after the New Year and swear to start abstaining from food and exercising to atone for my sins on the first day of work. But in the end, I compromise with myself and say, "I'll just lose weight before summer."

Ruan Dinh Lun, deputy director of the body sculpting and weight loss team of the Body Beauty Center of Asia Eastern Hospital, said that during the Chinese New Year, people can easily enjoy a variety of delicious food at home, and unknowingly consume food that exceeds their nutritional needs. Coupled with the worsening situation caused by the epidemic, the amount of exercise has been drastically reduced, and it is inevitable that everyone has more fat and less health.

Is it true that after the Chinese New Year, we must spend our days in excessive joy and sorrow after overeating? In fact, we can save ourselves some worries after the Chinese New Year by following some small tips while enjoying delicious food. How can we enjoy delicious food during the Chinese New Year without worrying about gaining weight? Deputy Director Ruan Dinh Lun and Vivian online nutritionist specially remind you of the following 4 key points for weight loss during the New Year holidays:

4 tips for losing weight during the New Year

1. Eat more vegetables

During the Chinese New Year, the table is inevitably filled with seafood and meat, but health does not have a New Year holiday. It is recommended that when purchasing ingredients, you can buy a few more green vegetables to go with them, so that the whole family can eat nutritious and balanced New Year dishes during the Chinese New Year.

2. Eat small amounts of food slowly

When family members get together, it is inevitable that there will be endless topics to talk about. If you "eat one bite at a time" and chat while eating, you often don't realize that you have eaten too much, and in the end you always put down your chopsticks when you are full. Put the various dishes onto your own small plate first. This will not only make it easy to check whether you have eaten a balanced amount, but will also help you better control the portion sizes.

3. Eat fruit 2 hours after a meal

Fluctuations in blood sugar can easily cause a physiological burden on metabolism. When you have a big meal and then eat high-sugar fruits, your blood sugar will "rise step by step". Eventually, the body will convert the blood sugar into fat and store it. Therefore, it is best to wait two hours after a meal to eat fruit after blood sugar levels have stabilized. Also, pay attention to the amount you consume. It is not recommended to eat as much fruit as you can, as the calories in it should not be underestimated.

4. Do more spring activities after dinner

During the Chinese New Year, every family will inevitably play three or four rounds of mahjong, or gather in the living room to chat. But if you eat delicious food at every meal and keep your butt glued to your chair, there will be no place to burn off the calories. It is recommended that after eating, you can call your friends or family to take a walk around the house to digest the food, which can also reduce blood sugar to the average value as soon as possible. Of course, we must take precautions against the epidemic and protect ourselves when we go out nowadays.
