I’ve noticed, the last few days as the temperature has steadily dropped that my appetite is kicking into Cold Weather Mode.
Warm weather appetite; “Ahh, a salad would be nice, maybe a bit of fish and fruit.”
Cold weather appetite; “Okay, brain, we’re cranking up the metabolism because it’s cold out, so tell the stomach that we want STARCH and BUTTER and we want it RIGHT NOW.”
Warm weather appetite; Ehh, don’t really feel like dessert, but maybe a cookie or something.
Cold weather appetite; Brownies. All of them. Now.
Yes! Cold weather makes our bodies work harder to stay warm, and burns through calories a lot faster. This is why a lot of cultures who live in cold climates eat a lot of rich foods and have traditions like butter tea. You need the calories to stay warm.
If this is your first time in colder weather, your body is having to adapt real fast, and so you’re burning food energy like tinder to keep the ol’ warm blooded system revved up. If you don’t get the food energy your body is demanding, it’ll save energy other places to keep the heat cranked up, and you’ll find yourself becoming really lethargic and tired.
Have some extra peanut butter toast (so long as you aren’t allergic to peanuts, of course) and make some chili.
-_- After growing up in Michigan and spending two years in Maine, I moved to Florida last year, and I’m having the WORST time just like. Actually convincing my body to eat food when it’s hot? Or warmish.
if you want to survive cold winters, you have to achieve peak body shape
