female needs help on diet

[Antonellafit]

Hi guys I would like to know why you get hungrier during the winter time? I tend to gain more weight on the winter time
because I can't control my appetite in the cold weather.

That's perfectly normal. We burn more calories to stay warm in the cold. However, the not controlling your appetite doesn't sound good.

In the winter we need more energy to keep warm. That's why we're hungrier.

If you can not control yourself with food, you better seek psychological help because you do not have a healthy relationship with food, you have a compulsion.

I bet what you feel is not hunger but rather the desire to eat. These are very different behaviors.

nobody mentioned that the holidays are full of stress and food holidays. usually every house has tons of sweets and many cultures/religion push food as celebrations

Originally these were winter feasts and, as above, occurred because villages etc stashed a bunch of food for the winter as nothing was growing. The surplus was eaten as a feast.

That we need more food then is just a part of nature.

Yep. Thanksgiving, Christmas parties, Christmas, New years...

It's a major calorie bomb
