Q: I’ve heard that people gain an average of 10lbs over the holidays. Is this true?
A: While some people might gain that much, the average holiday weight gain between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is a modest .8 to 1 pound according to a study by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
That’s the good news. The bad news is if you don’t lose that extra weight after the holidays, then over the years it will slowly build up.
Luckily, you can avoid this by simply eating what you want during your holiday dinners and return to your normal diet the next day.
If you’re still worried about over-indulging then check out these healthy holiday eating tips!
