Holiday Heft

Contrary to popular belief, most people don't pack on as many holiday pounds as they believe they do. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the average adult holiday weight gain is a mere 1.05 pounds (.48 kg). However, that weight gain is typically not reversed in the spring or summer months, meaning that those holiday pounds can add up over time. And those adults who do experience a holiday weight gain of five or more pounds are more likely to be overweight or obese. dLife's Lara Rondinelli, RD, has some great tips for getting through the holiday season happy and light.
