Research shows the average adult weight gain through the holiday season is slight, but it sticks with you. A pound or two annually can equal 25-30 over the course of adulthood. Nowadays, the winter holidays tend to span a couple months rather than a few weeks so there is plenty of time to enjoy your favorites– in moderation. Enjoy pumpkin pie a time or two around Thanksgiving, but then agree to pass. Splurge on a peppermint mocha here and there when you’re out holiday shopping, but then swear them off until next season.
