Nutritionist Oleg Lysenko in an interview Lenta.RU told how you can spend the most useful time in the country, not only successfully working, but also losing weight.
The doctor noted that working on a personal plot is almost ideal in order to lose weight. The main thing is to follow the rules: increase physical activity with a calorie deficit.
For example, when weeding and watering, you can burn up to 400 calories per hour, while mowing lawns with a mower weighing up to three kg – up to 350 calories.
“Digging the beds is a more intense and energetic workout and can burn 400 to 600 calories per hour, making it one of the best exercises for gardeners,” said the specialist.
At the same time, the doctor reminded that it is categorically not necessary to “drive” oneself with work, even work should be joyful and moderate.
“Losing weight through exercise alone is unlikely to succeed. In addition to this, after exhausting work, most likely, you will eat after a lot more than you should. And where there is no calorie deficit, there is no weight loss, ”said the nutritionist.
As for nutrition in between work, you need to eat food according to the plate system. That is, half of what you eat is vegetables and fruits, a quarter is complex carbohydrates (for example, potatoes), and another quarter is proteins (fish, meat, beans, nuts, dairy products).
