  In **[*The Daily Telegraph* article](https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/)**, "*[Your winter coat will cost you 3kg](https://www.ricardoriskalla.com/volumes/documents/sunday-telegraphy/Your-winter-coat-will-cost-you-3kg.pdf)*", the focus is on the tendency for Australians to gain weight during the colder months.

The NSW Food Authority study highlighted that nearly half of Australians put on two to three kilograms over winter, with men more prone to gaining three to five kilograms. Ricardo Riskalla, a personal trainer with RawFit, contributes expert commentary explaining that cold weather discourages outdoor exercise and encourages the consumption of high-fat, high-sugar, and salty comfort foods.

He emphasises that this combination of factors makes it challenging to maintain fitness during winter, underlining the importance of staying active and mindful of diet despite colder conditions.

People don’t like to go outside and exercise when it’s cold.
