Your Diet and Holiday Danger Zones
Last fall I was on a serious health kick. After months of gym-going and careful eating, jeans that I hadn't worn in years fit! Then Thanksgiving hit, and I was sucked into that diet minefield -- the five-week stretch from Turkey Day to New Year's. The worst thing about the month of December isn't that you gain tons of weight -- the average American puts on only about a pound. The real problem is that it's a black hole for your willpower. A slice of leftover pumpkin pie here, a few too many cocktails there, and your healthy intentions disappear. But it's not just you. Research suggests that most Americans never lose that pound they gain over the holidays -- which easily adds up to a 10-pound gain every 10 years. Let us help you outwit this season's eatings. No matter what comes your way -- a super-stressful day of holiday shopping or Mom's sugar cookies -- you'll know just what to do to stay slim.
