Expert tips to boost calorie burn in warm weather

Your body burns fewer calories in warm weather, contrary to popular belief. Winter's cold actually prompts higher calorie expenditure for thermogenesis. Expert Dr. Anastasios Manessis explains that bodies work harder to stay warm in winter, leading to increased calorie burn. Weight gain in winter is often due to reduced activity and increased snacking. To combat lower summer calorie burn, increase movement, strength train, stay hydrated, eat protein, and consume whole foods. Spicy foods may also offer a mild metabolic boost.
