We used to believe that the average American adult gained 5 or more pounds during the holiday season, between Thanksgiving and New Year. But a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in 2000 concluded that the average Holiday Season weight gain was "only" 1 pound. I never believed the 1 pound weight gain, and I still believe it's much higher than that. Especially during this holiday season, be selective in your choice of foods. Reject the "offensive" foods. Choose the leaner cuts of meat, chicken, turkey and fish. Don't forget whole wheat bread and pasta, and use Stevia instead of sugar to sweeten your drinks. Exercise, not only to help maintain a lower body weight, but also as a relaxation method. Above all, enjoy the holiday season, your friends and family, and drive responsibly. More...
