Does the body gain more weight in the winter even if you eat exactly the same all year round just by default?

Question

I am not asking about food intake, etc. I am saying by the nature of it being cold outside, does the body hold the food in more in a hybernatory-like survival attempt than it would if it were warmer out?

Answer 1

You normally gain weight in the winter due to inactivity. Everyone should get some exercise daily even if it is walking.

Answer 2

The body gains weight when you eat more calories than you're burning regardless of what time of the year it is. Naturally in the winter we generally become less active outside because of the weather, but if you transfer your exercise to indoor cross training and try to stay away from all the holiday deserts you should only gain a few pounds and when spring time comes around you will be in better shape than most people who do nothing.

Answer 3

Not if you maintain the SAME activity level, that is where the winter season gets the bum rap, in the cold we tend to slow down, sleep more due to the daylight savings, lead a more sedentary life.
So if you want to maintain your weight year long, just keep the same level of activity.

Answer 4

i believe so ,you eat more comfort food and boredom.
summer time i feel we don't eat as much ,and we more active .
