🌨️ PCOS + Winter = Sudden Weight Gain? Here’s the Truth!
If you’re gaining weight even without overeating this winter, don’t blame yourself!
Women with PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome) often struggle with weight gain due to:
✨ Slow metabolism in cold weather
✨ Increased cravings due to insulin resistance
✨ Low Vitamin D in winter affecting hormones
✨ Less physical activity & more fatigue
✨ Higher cortisol (stress hormone) levels
💙 So, it’s not laziness… it’s your hormones reacting to winter + PCOS!
🔎 What can you do?
✔️ Improve Vitamin D intake
✔️ Stay active indoors (even 20 mins helps!)
✔️ Add protein + fiber to control cravings
✔️ Reduce stress + sleep properly
✔️ Regular check-ups with a PCOS specialist
Remember: Your body is not the enemy — your hormones need support! 💪💖
