Diet Trick This month, people are much slimmer much faster

When we are slim
Experts recommend that you weigh only once a week when losing weight, otherwise the daily weight fluctuations make only bad mood. Maybe it would be better to go even more rarely on the scales. Scientists have now found out in which month we are the leanest.

In winter we bring the most on the scales
The gluttony around the Christmas time ensures that most of us grow properly. Therefore, many want to lose weight after the holidays. The fact that we are the thickest in winter has now been shown in a scientific study. The researchers also found out in the study in which month we are the leanest.

Due to the gluttony, we usually put the biggest weight on the scales at Christmas time. But there is also a month when we are the leanest. (Image: sabine hürdler / fotolia.com)

Influence of holidays on weight gain
Cornell University researchers in the US have investigated the body weight development of 3,000 subjects from Germany, the USA and Japan. Among other things, they analyzed how the various holidays in these countries influence weight gain. "In all three countries, participants gained weight within 10 days of Christmas," researchers write in the New England Journal of Medicine..

Other holidays such as "Thanksgiving" in the US or the "Golden Week" in Japan made the subjects more balanced.

Part of the overweight is quickly reduced again
The German participants took on average one percent of body mass over Christmas. However, half of the weight gained after the holidays was quickly reduced again. The reduction of the other half moved but usually still around five months, so until Easter. The least amount of bacon on the hips was the Germans in October.

Better self-control
The scientists have some advice ready. So basically you should have a better self-control during the holidays. In addition, it should be noted that while some of the added weight is quickly broken down, the other part remains until the summer or longer. "Of course, the less you've gained weight, the less worry you have to worry about losing weight." (Ad)
