If you’re eating more lately – it could be the weather...

As the temperature drops – so does our metabolism...

It’s no surprise a lot of us start gaining weight in the fall and keep going right through winter. Colder body temperature stimulates the appetite. Eating literally warms us up – by about 10%.

Less time spent outside and new crops of seasonal food on display don’t help much either. If you’d like to cut seasonal weight gain off at the pass – dress in layers be sure to stay active. Keeping your body temperature up will help keep your appetite at bay. Jog – don’t walk – past that pumpkin pie display in the supermarket.
