Stronger Faster Family,
As we venture into the holiday season, you have probably heard about the dreaded holiday weight gain. Many assert the “Average American” gains 5 pounds over the holidays. Despite “5 pounds” being reported in the news or on social media, research shows that holiday weight gain can be relatively modest, only 0.8 pounds on average, but varies greatly from person to person.
Despite holiday weight gain being comparatively moderate, unfortunately, research shows the pounds typically linger well into the following year and can add up year on year. Think of it like compounding interest, but not the kind you want in your bank account, the kind you don’t want around your hips and waistline.

Here’s the good news: You have the power to navigate this season just like any other time of year. You can enjoy the festivities while keeping your health and fitness goals on track. The key is moderation, returning to your normal food habits for all the other days of the holidays, and maintaining your gym routine. Just like one workout cannot make you fit, one meal or day cannot derail your fitness goals.
We preach consistency in the gym and being consistent with your nutrition. Missing a day at the gym or enjoying a holiday meal won’t ruin your gains, but don’t turn a holiday meal into a season of holiday overindulgence or a season of skipping workouts.

Relish those delightful dishes you don’t usually indulge in; remember, you don’t need to treat yourself every day this season or snack on holiday treats every time someone brings them into the office or when they are brought into your home. Choose a few special days, events, or meals to savor these delicacies, and stick to your regular routine on ALL the other days. Enjoy in moderation. Love eggnog? Have a glass, not 4. Personally, I love pumpkin pie, I will have a slice at Thanksgiving and Christmas only, but skip it if it shows up at other times.
