Is the cold can make a fat person

Cold weather or ice etc can not make you fat

I don't think that the cold can make a person fat. I do think that the cold weather and the fewer hours of daylight can deter people from working out. I also think that people tend to crave heavier foods in the winter due to the slower pace of life that seems to follow the fewer hours of daylight. Fight through it! Shoveling snow burns tons of calories.

Is the cold can make a fat person

Yes it does,thats why I move south every winter

If I attempted to communicate in Spanish, which I really cannot speak despite the earnest efforts of several Spaniards over a matter of months, I would sound like a very dumb toddler. However my abilities in my second language are not indicative of my intelligence.

However, word salad, of which there are several awesome examples above, is generally not a skill available to the non-psychotic person. Just sayin. I assume you all had to work hard at that. I congratulate you.

My confusion is this: isn't the scale inside and therefore warm? And the scale being inside, wouldn't you also be inside? Therefore wouldn't you be in a reasonably warm temperature range?

People, don't make fun of someone's English skills when it's not their first language. Save it for the born and bred English speaking folk when they can't spell "lose" or "weight", etc.

To Julie, no, cold in itself won't make anyone fat. It's possible people are less active outdoors (less likely to take walks, etc), but that doesn't stop someone from exercising inside. I have also found that the cold weather makes me crave richer foods but if you're keeping track of calories this shouldn't be a problem.

Oh I understand Well actually some believe that the cold weather actually helps weight loss because the body burns more energy trying to keep warm.

Hope this helps

because when i go on the weigh machine and its cold and i cold i take weigh and when its worm i loose weigh???

quand il fait froid, mes doigts sont certainement plus petits -- ma classe ring obtient beaucoup plus lâches. mais je ne pense pas que votre poids changera radicalement chaude ou froide.

YAY the question was answered! And all I can make out from Junior High French class is that when its cold, certainly something, but not a lot. Then again, a whole bunch of more something else. But I don't think your pounds change radically hot OR cold.

See, I'm a very not bright toddler when I attempt to receive communication in a different person's language. Servilla is right.

Just use an internet translator like I did with my response.

I hope it was right, otherwise taking French through first year university was a waste lol

That is basically the same translation that I got on the internet translator that I used. Which makes me feel pretty confident in my response since I wasn't sure how well the site worked.

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the discussion but wouldn't a person burn more fat excercising in cold weather because the body would need to work harder to maintain body heat?
It feels like the opposite is true because you sweat more in the heat, but I think you burn more in the cold.

Thinking about doing a polar plunge on New Year's Day and wondering how much fat would burn off to keep me warm.

That was my response. Read it somewhere recently.

You burn more calorie if you work out in the cold.
In fact, drinking 1-2 liters of cold water, help burn couple hundred calorie.

Usually people gain weight in winter because people don't want to exercise in the cold
and the day light is shorter. They eat more to keep them warm.
Also we have to wear thick jacket, don't show much of skin, so we
are less conscious about our bodies.

Sorry Julie, not really enough info to go on here. Without insulting your intelligence could it be:

- reliability of your scales
- the sort of food you tend to eat in winter months
- exercise pattern
- the amount of clothes worn whilst you're weighing yourself

The temperature itself doesn't change things, so look to those possible causes

I would like to give my two cents on the topic. i live in phoenix arizona, we are the Grand Canyon state, which as many of you know, our temperatures can reach into the 120s but usually hovering around an average of 110 to112 during the summer months, which summer for us is from about the first of May until the end of October. by Halloween(10/31) the weather finally cools enough to leave our windows open here. but if I step out of my house anytime between those months, I will begin to perspire automatically. If i watch what i eat and workout during this time of the year, i can lose up to 3 pant sizes in less than 2 months easily. when i workout at this time of the year, the sweat is literally dripping on the floor, sorry tmi but ask my friends about it they will tell you.but during the winter unless i am being religious in my eating habits and making it to the gym on a regular basis i have a very difficult time losing period and it could take me up to six months to lose 3 sizes.

Odd question but do you weigh yourself when you are naked or wearing clothes? I didn't realize how much my clothes actually weighed until recently (it is a pretty chilly winter here) so if you are wearing extra layers when it is chilly and lighter clothes when you are warm, could that be it?
