With cold weather, you spend more time inside watching your favorite Netflix shows. You are less motivated to get out of the house and exercise. If you are one of those people who would rather sit down with a bowl of mac-n-cheese, then be forewarned: those tasty comfort foods like mac-n-cheese, potato chips and ice cream tend to be deep-fried and all around “bad” for you. Not only are these foods filled with fatty-acids for the “comfort food” sensation, but they are also loaded with carbohydrates, salts and sugars.

Now, if you exercise regularly and you are careful about the calories you consume, you will probably be alright.
