Seems to me most people gain weight in the winter ("nothing to do" or "too cold outside, let's stay in... and eat!") and lose weight in the summer (go on diets, exercise more, whatever).
I've always thought, evolutionarily speaking, we should gain weight in the summer (abundant resources) and lose weight in the winter (few resources). But maybe that's wrong. Maybe hunter-gatherers ate more fatty animals like bear in the winter, so gained weight; and ate more fruits and stuff in the summer, so lost weight.
I wish I had a time machine so I could go be a hunter-gatherer for a while.
