Winter is the Season to Lose Weight? The Colder the Weather, the Faster you Lose Fat!

In order to go to water sports in summer, many people will actively lose weight, but the fat loss effect seems to be unsatisfactory even though they have already sweated to move their bodies. It turns out that winters are the best time to lose weight! What is the mysterious magic of winter that makes it easier to get slimmer?

Your body works hard to keep you warm by producing its own heat, and that's the way you end up burning calories without trying. When we have a higher basal metabolic rate, the body burns calories and fat faster, which helps digest and absorb food.

Furthermore, according to a study by the National Institutes of Health, the body releases Irisin, an “exercise hormone”, when it is cold and shivering for 10 minutes at a temperature of about 12°C or below.

This hormone boosts the calorie-burning ability of the body and has a key role in activating “brown fat cells”.

Don't think fat is bad - brown fat cells are a great way to burn deep fat. When brown fat is active, it produces heat and burns fat quickly, targeting subcutaneous and visceral fat in the body and helping with weight loss. An Australian study has found that brown fat increases by more than 30% in cold weather.

So, by doing regular exercise in winter, you could achieve your weight loss goals in no time. However, you will feel hungrier than usual due to the increased calorie consumption while you have to eat the same amount of food as you do in summer, otherwise, you will not see any weight loss.
