freeze and lose weight

I don't know if I buy this...I had a much harder time losing weight when I lived in a cold climate. Now that I live in a warm climate, I'm more active year-round and find I eat less when it's hot outside.

  • There was a recently article in either Science magazine (from the AAAS) or the NYTimes Science section detailing that when you are cold your body becomes thriftier about burning calories, and so it is actually harder to lose weight when you are cold.
    The placebo effect, probably, applies here.
