This article will indeed help you avoid excessive weight gain in winters and how to lose weight fast.

Believe me, it’s so easy to pile up the kilos during winter, courtesy comforting fried foods, primarily paranthas (परांठा), sugar-laden tea or coffee and even the tempting gur-gachak (गुड़गचक) and mom’s pinnies (पिन्नी).

It’s the perfect time to think about wise food choices and portion control.

Winter binging may easily cost you a weight gain of three to five kilos.

The main reasons for weight gain are: less physical activity during winters and of course increased consumption of heavier foods.
