Let’s Understand Why It Is Easy To Lose Weight In Summers!

In the hot summer months, the daily calorie intake decreases as compared to the cooler months as appetite decreases trying to keep the body cool. Consumption of liquids, fruits and juices is maximized due to the heat and parched weather, leading to lesser calorie consumed as compared to what is burnt. In the cold weather, the calories tend to pile up to keep our body temperature warm by indulging in comfort foods.
