In autumn and winter, the desire for sweets and chocolate increases for many. On the one hand, to combat the symptoms of seasonal depression , a condition that many experience in the first cold weather and with the reduction of sunlight.

On the other hand, because between Halloween and until Christmas, sweets become very present in homes and therefore we fall into temptation, while the winter fruit options do not meet everyone’s tastes. Finally, because compared to the summer you stay at home more.
This also makes it easier for you to gain weight in the colder months.
