Does a persons body automatically put weight on in the winter? I always seem to gain weight in the winter and wondered if this is because the body is storing more fat to keep you warm?

[LoftyLottie]

I think we are programmed to eat more fatty and stodgy food in the winter to keep warm. Survival instinct.

I don't think we automatically get fatter though.

A lot of people tend to be less active in the winter too; it is a combination of winter comfort foods and less exercise that makes you put weight on.

Like porridge?

[legendis.god]

With thedark nights and cold weather theres a lot of comfort eating in winter.Add to that the gorging of the xmas season too and excessive amounts of alcohol.


Thats why health club memberships are always up in january

Porridge is excellent food for the winter. It fills you up and keeps you satisfied longer. Make it will water, skimmed or semi skimmed milk. Great food for people who want to keep trim!

[4getmenot]

porridge is good for helping to control chloresterol levels too. my son eats it with a banana mashed into it and some maple syrup on top.

[kitesurfer]

I kitesurf less in the winter, drink more, eat more and generally do nothing. I am tubby in the winter yes. but as every year passes I keep a bit more of the tubbyness from the winter and it just accumulates.......
