is it a known fact that everyone puts on weight in the winter even if there diet has not changed?

Answer 1

Diet may remain contstant, any stalling of weight loss is more likely to be due to reduction of exercise!...;

Answer 2

Generally yes, but it's usually not much. Recent studies have shown that the average weight gain is on the order of a pound or two. The problem is that we tend not to lose it once we gain it.

The winter is a funny time for us urban animals. We tend to move around less because it's more comfortable to stay indoors when it's wet and nasty (the Pacific Northwest) or freezy snowy (most of the rest of the country). But unlike in nature where the food supply goes away for the winter, we keep ours around all year long. Just go to any Safeway.

I'm not too sure about California. It's neither nasty or freezy, unless you're in the mountains.

But in most places, even if nothing in our diet changes, we will tend to gain a little weight in the winter simply because it's winter.

Not to worry, though. As long as you either eat a little less most of the time during the winter--leave room for Thanksgiving and Christmas, though--or eat a little less in the spring and combine that with more exercise to lose what you gained in the winter, you'll be fine. It doesn't have to be much less. Leave out the cookies and most of the sodas, for example, and you'll be able to enjoy more of the traditional holiday fare and not gain any weight.

Remember: one pound is 3500 calories. Leave out that much each week (500 calories per day--one vente Starbuck's Strawberry Creme Frappaccino is 600 calories. One two-ounce serving of cheese (about what you'd put on a sandwich) and one regular soda would be about 500 calories. So cut out the double cheeseburger and Coke and you've saved more than that.

And you don't have to do this every day to save yourself the winter weight gain. Doing it only every other day will save you half a pound a week, but over the course of the winter (say three months) it's six pounds.

All it takes is a little thought and care, and you won't have to worry.

Answer 3

People tend to be less active in the winter ( cold weather), but in the spring/summer time people are out-n-about, going to the park, beach, going outside in the warm sun.
Oh I miss the sun : (

Answer 4

How tall are you? 113 could be well-known on your top. i could say decrease your each and daily calorie intake by 500. attempt to do some indoor workouts if that is too chilly to pass exterior. Get your blood pumping, break a sweat. you would be right down to one 0 five in approximately 8 weeks.

Answer 5

No. People gain weight when their (or as you say, there [sic]) caloric intake exceeds what they burn off through activity. Most people tend to do less active stuff in the winter, thus the misconception, but anyone who stays active will not gain weight.

Answer 6

no, if the diet has not changed, people would be more likely to lose eight in the winter due to the cold weather, not put it on.

Answer 7

Not correct for humans.
It is not correct even for animals.
For instance, bears lose weigh during the winter.

Answer 8

I think it's because life slows down we sit more and walk less and we also eat differently
