Good morning Usman!
According to the study "Holiday Weight Gain: Fact or Fiction," "among the entire population, weight gain during the 6-week holiday season explained 51% of annual weight gain. These results suggest that holiday weight gain may be an important contributor to the rising prevalence of obesity."
Yes, holiday meals are often more generous when it comes to solid fats and added sugars, but they don't have to be. In fact, there are lots of great recipes out there that still taste indulgent without actually piling on the calories. That's why I've put together two holiday cooking posts with printable PDF handouts. Don't miss Healthful Holiday Side Dishes, which features starchy sides, vegetables, salads, and even fruit. Then, be sure to visit the members-only post Healthful Holiday Entrees, which includes four fantastic recipes that will please the whole family.
How's your holiday prep going?
