Appetite increases in cold environments, research shows. Appetite has been found to be more likely to be triggered in cold temperatures. For example, during cold winter months, the average person has been found to gain 1-2 pounds (0.45-0.91 kg). The increased appetite is thought to be the result of colder temperatures signaling to the brain the need for heat, which causes the brain to send cues to the body to eat more food that can be turned into stored fat. Typically, these cues make people crave foods that are rich in carbohydrates, such as pasta or mashed potatoes, because the starches and sugars will warm up the body more quickly. wisegeek/does-appetite-increase-in-the-cold.htm?m
