As temperatures drop, you might feel intense hunger—your body is preparing to store fat to stay warm. To avoid putting on extra weight, focus on foods that provide maximum warmth.
🍖 Proteins: Salmon, lamb, beans, chickpeas, lentils, pâté, and hummus all help keep the body warm.
🍞 Carbs: Oatmeal, buckwheat, spelt, brown rice, and whole-grain bread offer lasting energy and warmth.
🥕 Vegetables: Sweet potatoes, pumpkin, beets (vacuum-packed options work well), and potatoes are great choices.
🍌 Fruits: Bananas, persimmons, avocados, and plums provide natural warmth.
For snacks, choose nuts like almonds, Brazil nuts, and macadamia. Healthy fats like ghee, flax seeds, and olives also help retain warmth. Add warming spices like cloves, cinnamon, and ginger, and consider using honey instead of sugar.
Note: Dairy products cool the body and aren’t ideal when you need warmth. During colder months, try plant-based alternatives like coconut or almond milk for a cozier, more warming option.
