Why Do People Gain More Weight During the Holidays than Any Other Time of Year?
You may be wondering why it is that people gain more weight during the winter holidays than any other time of year. A study was done in
the early 2000′s by the National Institutes of Health that determined
just that. They determined the following things about Americans:
- The average American gained 1.8 lbs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day.
- Overweight and obese Americans before the holidays were more likely to gain 5 lbs. or more during that 6 week period.
- The biggest two factors in weight gain were lack of activity and excess hunger.
- The weight that is gained at that time of year is never lost .
The excess hunger at this time of year is most likely due to the excess amount of refined sugar and carbohydrates that people consume throughout the season. The more of them you eat, the more hungry you will be every few hours. These foods immediately spike insulin – the fat-storing hormone that will keep them out of fat-burning mode for up to 48 hours. These substances also causes individuals to feel lethargic which could explain why many are less active, lounging, relaxing, and overeating the holidays away.
So for each time that an individual consumes refined sugar and carbs, they will spend the next 24-48 hours in FAT-STORING mode. Doesn’t it make sense then that daily consumption of sugar and carbs will result in some people actually spending every single day of the holiday season in FAT-STORING mode as opposed to FAT-BURNING. Ouch!
Worse than gaining all that weight is the fact that this study revealed that the weight that is gained at that time of year is never lost so there is an accumulation of excess weight put on every year over the course of Americans’ lifetimes that could lead to obesity due to that lack of weight loss after the holidays.
Think about it – where will you be 10 years from now if you gain 5 lbs. every Christmas? You’ll be 50 lbs. heavier. Isn’t it time to pay attention, do a little proactive weight gain prevention during the season and give yourself the gift of good health this year?
Tune in – we’ll be sharing simple Holiday Weight Loss tips all season long to help you to enter into the New Year feeling fit, trim, lean, energized, and most importantly – in a position of Power over FAT!
God bless and Happy Holidays!

The Secrets to Finding the Most Effective Weight Loss Program for You
Secrets to Weight Loss, Burning Fat and Results that Last
Are you desiring to lose weight like I was just a few months ago? If you are, we need to talk. You may be interested in joining a proven weight loss program with the right mix of education, supplements, and support. When it comes to joining an effective weight loss program, you will find there are a number of different options – some good – many bad as I found out.
If this is your first time enrolling into a weight loss program, you may not be sure or even know as to what you should look for in a weight loss program. If that is the case, HOLD ON–you will want to continue reading what I found out.
One of the greatest ways for finding the perfect weight loss program is to ask a number of important questions and you answer them. One of the first questions that you should ask yourself is how much time you have to devote to this weight loss program which may require some time and education.
If you were to join a local weight loss support system, whether it is in a brick and mortar building or a support group who are doing it on their own, you would likely be required to attend either an online webinar or a weekly get together. Whether you are busy with your family or at work, you may not have the additional time that is required to do so. In that case, you should consider joining an online weight loss program with support, as many are often designed for those professionals and moms with busy and hectic schedules.
Another question that you will want to consider when looking to find the perfect weight loss program is your sheer willpower to make it happen. If you decide that you should join an online program, you will be gaining more freedom, to physically report to meetings is nit a requirement and answer to group leaders that you do not know.
While this freedom is cool and great to have, there is a downside. The freedom that you enjoy to not attend weekly meetings has allowed many hopeful people that are looking to lose weight to get off track with their program. If you do not believe that you can stay with your online program goals and required instructions for weight loss, you may want to consider an alternative. Trust me on this one.
Another one of the many possible questions that you may want to ask when looking for a good weight loss program, is how much money is it going to cost you. This one is a biggie. While you can find free weight loss programs everywhere, both locally or online, it is actually when you get down to it, quite rare. In your search, you will find that they have a wide range of membership fees that are included. You probably will find that online programs are cheaper than locally operated weight loss programs or support systems. If you are on a tight monthly budget, the cost of each program you run across should play a big role in making that decision.
You should also ask yourself this question: Are you honestly embarrassed with your current weight today? And or you not feeling that good about your physical appearance? Although you really should not have anything to be ashamed of, you may still feel that way. If that is true, you may be a little hesitant of attending local weight loss meetings. As always, you need to remember that everyone else that is attending those meetings are probably likely feeling the exact same way, but you don’t have to be in any kind of awkward situation. If you are not happy with your appearance– as I was not, or may be concerned about what others may be thinking of you, you may want to really consider joining an online weight loss program instead that has a great program and product to help accelerate the fat burning.
