Lupidity and apathy after the New Year holidays can be the result of an excess of carbohydrates in the diet, so it is very important to switch to a healthier diet. Doctor of Psychology, clinical psychologist Artur Garaganov spoke about this in an interview with Sputnik radio. He noted that after the permissive regime, when you could eat without any restrictions, it is especially difficult to switch to a weight loss regime. The main difficulty, according to the specialist, is that a person is not ready for this either psychologically or physiologically. “We always want something sweet that will quickly satisfy our need for pleasure - which will ensure a quick release of the pleasure hormone. We need to act gradually - reduce the dose of carbohydrates by at least half,” explained the psychologist. Garaganov added that fatty, high-calorie, flour foods give strength and energy only at the moment when we consume it, and the rest of the time “keeps us in a lethargic state.” .According to the specialist, in addition to proper balanced nutrition, psychological attitude and motivation are also important for getting back in shape. “Most often, a person is ready to lose weight, get out of the holiday period not just for himself, but for the sake of someone close to him or colleagues who should see him after going back to work... The question is solved comprehensively: why or for whom a person is doing this, what he wants to get as a result and how ready he is to get out of this state,” Garaganov noted. Earlier, on January 10, this day, psychologist Sergei Lang spoke about ways which will help to avoid melancholy after the New Year holidays, since after them people have to go to work, which puts them in a state close to depression. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
