If you're trying to lose weight at this moment in time, then you might well be struggling with the winter months. Most of us find that our mood is generally lower during the winter. We experience more colds and coughs, more extreme weather, and drink more warm drinks. All of this means that we're likely to put weight on which is never good news when thinking about our diet. Luckily, there are things that you can do to try and minimize the effects of the weather this winter, and perhaps even lose weight instead of gaining it.

    　如果你正考慮這個時候減肥，也許你要在即將到來的冬天這個季節(jié)掙扎一下了。我們大多數(shù)人的情緒在冬季都非常低落。我們更多的會想到感冒咳嗽,更極端的氣候及熱乎乎的飲料。所有這些意味著我們從未考慮自己這一氣候的飲食習(xí)慣。幸運的是,通過以下幾點你可以減少今年冬天天氣的影響,也許會減輕體重也說不定。

　　1. Sort out your mood.

　　調(diào)整你的情緒

      If you suffer from depression, then winter might mean that it is more obvious that there is something wrong with your mood. When we're depressed, it makes us more likely to feel the need to comfort eat, and this can be hugely detrimental to our diets when we're trying to lose weight. You should think about the things in your life that are making you stressed, and see what you can do to try and change that. If you are feeling down about your work load, then why not try talking to your boss and see if there is anyone else within your department who might be able to take on some of the work that you're struggling with?

    如果你患有抑郁癥,那么冬天就意味著你會感覺有些不對勁。當(dāng)我們情緒低落的時候,我們更可能感覺到需要用吃來安慰自己,而這對減肥中的我們非常不利。你應(yīng)該考慮生命中讓自己感到有壓力的事情,看看自己能做些什么以努力改變它。如果你感覺工作負擔(dān)太重,那么為什么不試著跟你的老板談?wù)効纯词欠褡屇悴块T的其他人來分擔(dān)你的工作呢？
 
　　2.Keep up regular exercise.

　　 保持有規(guī)律的鍛煉

   　 You need to do this, or your body will become unfit again and it will be a struggle when you get back to the summer months. In addition to this, exercise improves our mood and also speeds up our blood circulation and this means that we will be able to keep a lot warmer. This can cheer us up, and can stop us from feeling as though we need to eat comfort food during this time.

     你需要這樣做,否則當(dāng)夏季來臨時你的身型將再次變得臃腫。此外,運動能改善我們的心情,也加快了我們的血液循環(huán),這意味著我們能使自己保暖。這會鼓舞我們,讓我們打消在這段時間吃食物來安慰自己的念頭。
 
　　3. Save money on your heating.

　　節(jié)省你的供暖費

　　 It can't have escaped your attention that heating your home is very expensive these days. Luckily, if your body needs to heat up more, you will burn more calories, so this might mean that it is actually better for you if you should choose to turn the heating down a couple of degrees.

    　近來讓你家的取暖費是非常很昂貴的。幸運的是,如果你的身體需要熱量,你可以燃燒更多的卡路里,這就意味著實際上是更好的,所以你應(yīng)該選擇把暖氣下降一些溫度。

　　 4. Buy healthy foods.

  　 買健康的食品

     　Instead of stocking up on chocolate and sweets, why not stock up on fruit instead? Things such as nuts and rasins can be yummy, but won't have as much of an effect on your waistband as chocolate might have done. You could always try salted vegetable crisps, too, if you are a savoury kind of person, as these are much better for you than other brands of crisps that you might be a little bit addicted to at this moment in time.

　　與其儲備很多巧克力和糖果,為什么不置辦一些水果呢?諸如堅果和葡萄干很好吃,但不會像巧克力那樣熱量大。如果你是一個喜歡吃可口味道的人,你也可以嘗試腌制蔬菜,因為這些比你這個季節(jié)沉溺于各種品牌的薯片要好得多。
