Why you gain weight in winter, even though you eat LESS

Colder Weather

Baby, it's cold outside! And if you're like many of us, you'd rather stay in and curl up by the fire. The cooler weather deters a lot of people from continuing with their active routines. "I find that clients struggle mostly because they're not outside as much and access to the outdoors is not as easy. They lose their summer running or tennis routine or discontinue walking with their buddy every few days routine," says Smith. If you need to call on your friend to stay accountable, then do it. It's not easy to stay active when it's freezing, but it's not as difficult when you have a partner in crime waiting for you.
