3 Holiday Weight Gain How much weight do you think the average person gains between Thanksgiving and New Year s Day? Call: Visit: BHS. All rights reserved. 5 Holiday Weight Gain Fact or Fiction? Media stories often suggest that the average person gains 7 to 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. People surveyed say they gain, on average, about five pounds this time of year. Other studies show that the average weight gain during the winter holidays is just one pound which doesn t sound like much, unless you gain that extra pound year after year. Weight gain was greater among individuals who were overweight or obese, with weight gains of five pounds or more during the holidays. Source: Parker-Pope, T (2007) The Skinny on Holiday Weight Gain.

8 Food and Feelings Research shows: Overeating is influenced more by emotions than environmental cues. During the holidays many emotions are triggered, both good and bad. Food and music can elicit memories that encourage us to eat. Certain smells directly strongly affect our brains. High stress of the holiday season can encourage eating. Obeying the urge to eat more than you need is a sure-fire way to gain weight. Source: Manning, J. (2014) Emotional Eating: What Helps. (Reviewed by Melinda Ratini, DO, MS on July 28, 2014) Call: Visit: BHS. All rights reserved. 15 Portion Size Try a small portion of foods you really enjoy. Limit yourself to just one plate of food. Don t hover around the food table. Call: Visit: BHS. All rights reserved BHS, All rights reserved. 8

All rights reserved BHS, All rights reserved. 9

10 Mindfulness Don t eat unless you are really hungry! Move away from the food to socialize. Listen to your body s signals of hunger and fullness. Eat slowly and savor food. Call: Visit: BHS. All rights reserved. 19 Beware of Liquid Calories Liquid calories from alcohol, smoothies, coffee with cream and sugar, sweetened juices, teas and sodas can really contribute to weight gain. One recent study found that Americans get approximately 21 percent of their calories from beverages. Switch from calorie-laden beverages to water, club soda, skim milk, vegetable juices and small portions of 100 percent fruit juice. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation and choose lighter drink options. Source: [Online] Diet Mistakes: 6 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight. Available from: Call: Visit: BHS.
