This blog tells you about the top 5 winter comfort foods that help you lose weight.
 

Oh, the mercury is dropping, and weather is getting colder with each passing day. But what you put in your mouth shouldn’t be frightful. Scientifically it was proved that the food eaten during the winter help to survive the bad weather. Although many think that when the thermometer dips mallomars, mac and cheese, and toddies are the only good options to enjoy, we agree that they are good but there are some foods which are better than that.  Through this blog we have tried to help you out with 5 nutritious food strategies, which will help you in fighting bad moods and dry skin.
 

1. Oatmeal
   Now you may argue that we are already on oatmeal diet, and then what’s new in your suggestion? Yeah, you are right, there is nothing new in our suggestion, but still we would recommend you to depend on oatmeal during the winter season because it fills you up. Oatmeal is rich in soluble fibers, which connects with bile. Oatmeal has wonderful weight loss potential and tackles the cholesterol in obstructive way.  Also, it scores low on the glycemic index. For an added zeal you can perhaps team it with any sort of berries like blue berry, raspberry or even strawberry.

    

2. Nuts and Seeds
   During the winters if you don’t have much to do atleast you can help yourself with a plate of your favorite nuts and seeds.Generally fats aid you to beat the rough weather, but nuts and seeds are rich in nutritious fats, which make you feel full and tame your blood sugar levels.  The rising blood sugar levels are one of the reasons for piling up weight.

    

3. Spaghetti Squash
   Who is wary of sampling a big plate of pasta?  You can scour plates and plates of pasta if you are not bothered about the fats that disfigure your body. But if you are bothered about the fats then you can depend on the spaghetti squash.  Only you need to scoop the seeds and sprinkle the olive oil on it and bake it at 350 degrees for some time and team it with tomato sauce. You can savor this spaghetti squash with any protein recipe like turkey, beef, soy, etc.

    

4. Jerusalem Artichoke Soup Recipe
   To kill hunger pangs during winter we often tend to reach out for our favorite chocolate cookies.  To ward off hunger pangs you can rely on watery foods like the soups. Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., professor of nutritional sciences at Pennsylvania State University and author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan say that "Water is the biggest influence of calorie density, so when you eat fruits and vegetables and broth-based soups—things packed with water—you'll feel more satisfied”. You can prepare various types of soups to stay filled and lose weight, but Jerusalem artichoke soup is best to beat the winter. The strange-looking knobby vegetables tames your blood sugar levels and triggers your sluggish metabolism, thus helping you to lose weight.

    

5. Chicken Soup
   As said above soup helps to combat dehydration and keeps you filled. The hot chicken soup helps to clear nasal congestion and retains the moistness of nasal passages. Chicken soup boosts immunity and helps you to stay fit during the winter.
