We now know the importance of incorporating fitness into our daily routine but as the days shorten and the weather turns colder, winter cravings start to set it. We start to crave fatty foods and many of us can lose the motivation to get up and exercise.

Why Does the Cold Weather Make Us Crave More Food?

Your cravings for heavy foods in the run up to winter are all natural instincts, similar to that of other mammals. You naturally crave these foods as your body prepares for lower temperatures and fight of common winter illnesses such as the flu and the common cold. These hearty foods help protect us during the colder weather and often make the depressing weather that little more bearable.
