As the temperature drops in the northern hemisphere our bodies consume a bit more energy to stay warm. We are tempted to turn to warm, comforting, satisfying food. Unfortunately, many of these foods are high in carbohydrates (bread, potatoes, white rice and pasta) which will means that we gain a weight if we don’t take care. So just try and stay on the salads a bit longer. Don’t turn the heating up full blast and don’t let the poor weather put you off getting out and taking some exercise.
