Eat Healthy Fats

Not all fats are bad for you! In particular, unsaturated fats — found in avocados, almonds, and walnuts — increase satiety, improve insulin metabolism and help your body to absorb vitamins.

Try a New Workout

Crummy weather isn’t an excuse to lounge around the house. When the temperature drops, stay active by trying a new activity, such as indoor cycling or running on the treadmill, both of which will help get your pulse rate up quickly.

Add a Supplement

Zantex
A dietary supplement can help you achieve weight-loss goals. Zantrex has a range of formulas that the brand says let you not only lose weight, but keep those winter pounds off as well. (Available at Walmart, Amazon and zantrex.com.)
