If you suffer from seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, then you are well aware that weight gain in the winter is one of the numerous, unpleasant, symptoms of the disorder. Also known as the winter blues, or winter depression, seasonal affective disorder causes not only depression, but a need for more sleep, lack of desire to do daily activities, and cravings for sweets, chips, and other unhealthy carbohydrates. When you add all of that up, weight gain is the result. Some may loose the weight in the summer, but yo-yo dieting, and repeated weight gain and loss takes a toll on the body, so it is best to avoid that cycle. Why do we who suffer from SAD crave starchy and sweet foods when the darkness of winter arrives? It is thought that because we are getting less sunlight that our serotonin levels drop, and eating carbohydrates makes us feel better because they boost our serotonin levels. We tend to choose the worst ones, as they give us the quicker lift, and of course, the quicker, deeper crash, too. So what is the best plan of attack for those of us with seasonal affective disorder? Put up you hands, back away from the brownies, and I will tell you. Eat the Good Carbohydrates What, you say? I can still eat carbs? Well sure you can, and must, just not the simple carbohydrates that give you the quick fix, especially those with white sugar, and white flour. Instead choose from a wide variety of complex carbohydrates. They take longer to break down, and generally much healthier, and they do not contribute to the sugar crashes. In fact, they help you control your SAD weight gain. Complex carbohydrates are found in whole grains, such as whole wheat and multigrain breads, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, and even popcorn. Fruits and vegetables are also packed with complex carbohydrates that will meet that craving without packing on the pounds. Eat from a wide range of fruits and vegetables each day, along with 3 to 5 servings of whole grains. Less Red Meat, More Fish While protein is important, people with seasonal affective disorder benefit from a low fat diet that is not overly heavy on protein. A diet that contains a minimum of red meat and a bigger emphasis on fish can be very helpful. Look for fish rich in omega three fatty acids, which have been found to ease depression symptoms. Tuna, mackerel, salmon and halibut are all good choices. Get Your Vitamin D Many people do not get enough vitamin D from sun exposure during the winter months, and need to get their vitamin D from food and supplements, instead. If you live north of Florida in the winter, then you are not going to get enough sunshine in the dark winter to produce the vitamin D that your body needs. Again, fish contain vitamin D, as do most dairy products. Choose low fat milk, cheese and yogurt. If you live in a place were there is very little sunshine in the winter, such as rainy places like Seattle, taking a supplement with vitamin D is a good choice. As you can see, the best diet to control the weight gain associated with seasonal affective disorder, and to ease the symptoms, as well, is an all over healthy diet full of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and low fat protein and dairy products. This type of diet is one that is good for everyone, no matter the season.
