When the temperatures drop and the rain starts, the bathing suit is put away a long time ago, and we pulled out warm coats and favorite jackets from the closet. And somewhere between crop tops and tank tops again, we gained weight. Is it just an illusion or do we really gain a little weight in autumn?

Bad mood

It is not rare that after summer, when the days become shorter, the weather worsens, and we have to return to all the hateful obligations, a bad mood sets in. It also affects our body, which starts, in the desire to feel better, to "look" for food that lifts our mood. These are usually not healthy foods, and if we are not careful, we start to gain weight very quickly, writes Novi list.

To boost your mood in a better way, spend more time outdoors and use every opportunity to soak up the sun. Engage in physical activity that also secretes the happy hormone.

Evolution is to blame

Experts explain that the increased appetite is due to pure evolution and the drive for survival. It has been proven that with uglier weather and lower temperatures, that is, in the last 12 weeks of the year, we eat an average of 200 calories more than usual. Try to provide your body with the necessary fuel, but from healthy foods.

Home comfort

While in the summer we prefer being outdoors and socializing, with the first rains we rediscover the comfort of our home. We move less and eat more. There's nothing wrong with that, but try to be physically active so that you can enjoy the series without a guilty conscience.

Loose and thick clothes

The fact is that in autumn and winter clothes, we can afford to have some extra "slouch" because it is simply not visible and is nicely packed away. In the summer, we are more aware of gaining weight due to less clothing that is thin and more revealing. What you can do is leave your favorite summer dress on the hanger and try it on every now and then so you know what your weight is.
