The Hanukkah holiday is already over, and we may have eaten a little more donuts and fritters than we planned.
Naturally, there are those who will want to run to the gym to burn the excess calories, but it is important that you know - it is not sure that this is such a good idea.
• Want to get in shape?
It's much simpler than you thought
• That they won't work on you: Why won't stretching after a workout help you?
• More hungry in winter?
Get to know the method that will keep you full
Studies show that the compensation of over-activity for over-eating can sometimes create the opposite effect.
That is, instead of creating a caloric deficit, we will actually get a caloric advantage - so instead of losing weight, we will gain weight.
how is it possible?
The researchers are not sure, but think that the reason for this is that after an activity we will compensate ourselves by overeating, thus increasing caloric intake, or we will become tired and move less, which will cause us to decrease caloric expenditure.

So what should be done?
Of course you went to the gym, exercise and run, but do so in moderation, just as you have done so far.
We trained for the sake of training, not to compensate for overeating.
We will achieve the caloric balance through balanced, controlled and measured eating, not through training.
So continue to train as usual, eat healthy and in a balanced way, and the body will take care of balancing itself.
