What causes unwanted weight gain

Winter isn’t just the season of giving…

It’s the season of gaining 

Gaining weight, that is.

Surveys show people tend to gain five to seven pounds on average during the winter months, according to Lawrence J. Cheskin, MD, founder, and director of the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center as reported by WebMD.

And when we talk about winter weight…

More often than not, we point fingers at the irresistible Christmas treats.

However, there are other reasons for that expanding waistline this winter.

And today, we will share with you the top of winter & festive phenomena that will affect weight gain you need to look out for:

Reason #1: We crave warm comfort food

The reason we eat more — warm, comforting and dense foods like roasts, pastas, creamy sauces and hot puddings during winter — is because when our body is metabolising food it generates heat, which might lead to our bodies craving more food to help heat us up.

Specifically, eating warm comfort food is a way for our bodies to raise the temperature when cold, so during this winter season we might seek comfort food more often than usual.

Reason #2: We’re less likely to exercise

Needless to say, we all lack the motivation to drag ourselves to the gym during winter.

Mostly because we would much rather spend the freezing days eating the aforementioned warm comfort foods and binging Netflix with our families.

That’s because with shorter daylight and colder weather, we are more likely to make excuses for not hitting the gym or going outside for our usual activities.

Reason #3: We’re preparing for “hibernation”

We might have more in common with bears than a mutual love of honey.

Our constant evasion of social events (and choosing to sleep in at home with mugs of hot chocolate) is proof that most of us hibernate like bears in our cosy beds and homes during winter.

This instinctive behavior to hide from the cold comes hand in hand with the need to stock up on calories, much like the way bears prepare for hibernation.

Reason #4: We’re more sleepy this winter

Shorter days make for sleepier times.

Unfortunately, daytime comes scarce during winter, because the days are much much shorter. This means there is less sunlight (and warmth) to enjoy.

This lack of sunlight can affect your sleep, because when we’re seeing less daylight, our body responds to the lack of sunshine by producing melatonin, the sleep hormone that lulls you to lalaland.

That feeling of sleepiness, especially when it is not actually time to sleep, can result in a lack of energy and motivation to workout.

The higher melatonin levels tend to increase appetite, which means we may find ourselves eating more and moving less during the cooler months, a recipe for weight gain.

We’ve got just the bundle to help you indulge guilt-free this holiday season!
