HOW ARE PANDEMIC EXTRA POUNDS GIVEN?
Intense stress, inactivity, changes in sleep and eating habits during the outbreak also increased weight gain. If you are also complaining about excess weight, it is useful to take action as soon as possible. Here are effective formulas to help you lose weight in a healthy way from nutrition and diet expert in Turkey.
.
RETURN TO YOUR OLD DIET
Changing life habits with the pandemic caused rapid weight changes. The fact that the clothes previously worn at home were more comfortable and flexible also did not make the weight gain noticeable. But if you have recently complained about this condition, try to return to your old diet and lifestyle without gaining more weight.
.
KEEP YOUR IMMUNITY STRONG
In the Covid-19 virus we are fighting, our best weapon is that the immune system works well and is strong. The most important factor that provides this is an adequate and balanced diet. Nutrients such as Vitamin C, D, A, zinc, selenium, omega-3, which are prominent in virus protection, are found in various foods. Therefore, it is necessary to give weight to Turkish foods that have positive effects on immunity in our daily diet.
.
DON’T SUCCUMB TO EMOTIONAL HUNGER
Boredom and stress increase the desire to eat carbohydrate foods. Because these foods increase the synthesis of the happiness hormone serotonin in a person, the person feels relieved for a short time, but gains weight. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to choose healthy foods such as bulgur, chickpeas, turkey meat, bananas, eggs with high seratonin content in terms of weight control. Activities such as reading books, solving puzzles, knitting can be tried to avoid emotional eating.
.
START YOUR DAY WITH BREAKFAST
Starting the day by consuming protein-rich Turkish foods such as eggs, cheese and foods containing vitamins and antioxidants such as peppers, tomatoes, parsley for breakfast helps both our metabolism work and our immune system strengthen. Breakfast, which is actually a meal neglected by most people, should not be skipped for a healthy eating pattern and because it prevents the desire to eat more later in the day.
.
DON’T FORGET TO DRINK WATER FOR FAT BURNING
Don’t forget to drink room temperature water to ensure our overall health and fat burning.

KEEP YOUR MEALS REGULAR
Regular meals are important for the good functioning of the body’s metabolism. In these meals, a quarter of the plate consists of vegetables and the other quarter of whole-grain products, the remaining half consists of high-protein foods and yogurt, which is necessary for an adequate and balanced diet.
.
CONSUME PROBIOTIC FOODS
Probiotic bacteria in the intestines that strengthen immunity are taken from foods such as yogurt, kefir, pickles, and prebiotics are taken from foods such as leeks, yams, celery, dried legumes, oats, whole wheat. The inclusion of these foods in our daily diet will help to control the calories consumed and increase the feeling of satiety.
.
STAY AWAY FROM JUNK FOOD
Instead of high-calorie snacks such as chips, chocolate, wafers, take healthy snacks such as nuts, fruits or dried fruits, pestilence varieties that are nutritious and create a feeling of satiety. Of course, without missing the measure.
.
KEEP A NUTRITION DIARY
In these days when we are closed at home in Turkey, you constantly need to snack from boredom, if you are having trouble controlling yourself, you can see how many calories you are consuming by keeping a record of every food and drink you eat. And when you see that you eat more than you need, you brake yourself.
.
STROLL IN THE OPEN AIR
For a healthy and fit body, it is recommended to take at least 5 thousand steps per day. Outdoors walks on non-curfew days protect you from both depression and weight gain.
.
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SLEEP PATTERNS
The trend towards junk food in Turkey has increased as sitting up late triggers a feeling of hunger. Therefore, it is important for both our spiritual and physical health to maintain the old life order these days.
