For me, I always lost inthe summer and gained in the winter. Summer was hotter (kills my appetite til sundown), and I was more active. Kinda hard to play badminton in the snow, eh? Even though summer foods included things like sweet corn, strawberries, watermelon, grilled steak or burgers, it still meant fewer carbs than winter. Winter was slow cooked roasts with mashed potatoes and (flour) gravy, mac and cheese, tater tots, hot chocolate, hot fruit cobbler with cream, barley stew, waffles, plus all the holiday goodies. Add to that less activity due to being snowbound and getting more sleep due to it not being light as long and you get more lbs.

Now in CA, I still see some seasonal variation, but much less strong.

Cheers,
