10 GOLDEN SUGGESTIONS FOR NOT GAINING WEIGHT WHEN YOU GET MARRIED

Many couples who move away from their marriage with the lifting of wedding bans breathe in their wedding apartments, while excess weight, which does not allow them to look thin and fit in the process, can be annoying. But beware of newlyweds! The real danger begins later, because in terms of eating habits, especially when the first year is not paid attention, new ones can also be added to the pounds that are trying to get rid of. Turkey nutrition and diet expert, listed 10 important rules for not gaining weight when married, made important warnings and recommendations.

1. Don’t stay still

Exercise is important in making healthy life sustainable. Don’t forget to take exercise into your routine as you adapt to your new life. Try the types of exercises that you can do together, where both sides can feel good and maintain when you do it. For example, walking, cycling, swimming, or jumping rope. After deciding on your favorite type of exercise, all that remains is to devote only 30 minutes during the day.

2. Choose your plates small

Newlywed couples can go overboard with the excitement and happiness of being a family, both in their daily diet and in the menu they prepare for their guests they invite home. For this reason, the weight can also increase unnoticed. In order not to experience this condition, make sure that your dishes are healthy and serve on smaller plates instead of large plates. If dessert is to be consumed, choose light desserts such as fruit keşkül.

3. Increase tea and coffee and do not neglect water

Like society in general, newlyweds can increase their tea and coffee consumption in the evening. The first important point here is that tea and coffee should be preferred without sugar. Another important point is that tea and coffee replace the water that can be removed from the body. Because of this, the more tea and coffee you drink, the more water you should drink, the more care should be taken to ensure the consumption of 35-40 ml of water per kg in summer.

4. Don’t make that mistake when you say, “I have to take care of my wife”

Every newlywed couple has heard the phrase” marriage has worked for you ” at least once. At the bottom of this sentence lies the meaning that your partner takes good care of you, and the thought of looking good is also often associated with food. Do not insist on your partner to eat a little more in your meals, regardless of whether the woman is a man. “Eat for my sake” or “you don’t eat me you don’t love me” style sentences do not say or “it would be a shame if I don’t eat more food than you need” even if you are full with the thought do not eat.

5. Plan a weekly meal list

Among the daily routines, it’s the hardest to think about what we should cook in the evening. To avoid this stress, weekly menu planning is the best solution. First, What do you have in your closet, in your freezer? Are there any products approaching the expiration date? Note these and give them priority in next week’s menu. When planning a menu with the products at hand, try using the same ingredients on different days. For example, eating peas and making artichokes. Remember the balance of protein, vegetables, carbohydrates when you continue planning.

6. Go shopping on a full stomach

Be sure to go shopping. Studies have clearly proven that foods high in sugar are taken during hungry purchases. After marriage, make a habit of making a list before going shopping to prepare a healthy eating program, as well as to organize your budget and avoid waste.

Determine the deficiencies according to the menu next week, sort out what they will receive. Give priority to vegetables and fruits in the ranking, leave products such as meat and chicken to the end, always prefer whole grain products in the carbohydrate group. Especially considering the pandemic, be careful not to enter the departments that you do not need when shopping.

7. Determine your dinner time and duration

When the whole day’s running ends and comes home, the dinners consumed by chatting with the wife unwittingly lengthen. And as the time spent at the table increases, the amount of snacks from the food on the table increases. Because of this, limiting the time and time of dinner, collecting the table together after dinner and continuing the conversation in an environment that will not be exposed to snacks will contribute to your weight management.

8. Don’t add junk food next to tea

Nutrition and diet expert, said: “tea after meals is indispensable for many of us to relieve the fatigue of the day and relax. And when we say that there is no tea alone, whether it is something sweet, dough or packaged food consumption comes into play. Sugar in packaged foods consumed, refined carbohydrates in the structure of pastries can cause fat in the waist area, increase weight, and as a result, insulin resistance. Because of this, small amounts of raw nuts/dried fruit snacks can be added next to the tea, not junk food. Tea can also be preferred as fruit-flavored herbal tea without sugar instead of black tea,” he says.

9. Pay attention to this rule in your food orders

Marriage means a new order and new responsibilities for both sides. Because of this, it can take some time to get used to it and create a routine, which is quite normal. At first, the frequency of eating from outside is high, while this will decrease over time. But even in the early days, it is worth not giving up the measure. Instead of saying fast food products from outside, the priority should be a place that makes home cooking. If we do not have such an alternative, the combination of lean grilled meat/chicken/fish + salad / grilled vegetables is one of the best healthy alternatives that can be said from the outside. Be especially careful that the liquids you will consume do not contain sugar.

10. Weigh in periodically

Turkish nutrition and diet expert, said: “achieving happiness, peace and comfort can cause relaxation in people. The weight taken with this relaxation can be noticed after a very long time. In order to go cautious, weigh the same day of the week, at the same weigh, in the same clothes, at the same time. And make a note of your results. If you’re seeing increases for three weeks, it’s time to intervene. Even if only one of the couples has gained weight, it is important that both sides start paying attention to what they eat and help their partner adhere to their diet as support,” he says.
