Bring on the Holidays - The Fruit Lady is here to help!

The two-month long “sweet season” begins with leftover Halloween candy and winds down with pumpkin and pecan pie, eggnog, fruitcake and candy. Bite by bite the ounces add up to pounds, unless you find a way to control holiday eating.

Research suggests that the average American gains about one pound during the winter holiday season. This is much less than the five to eight pounds commonly believed.

Unfortunately, researchers at the National Institutes of Health report that most people never lose that extra pound of weight, so it accumulates year after year. Later in life the extra weight may be a major contributor to obesity and the diseases associated with it.

It is unrealistic to try to lose weight during the stressful holiday season, so focus on maintaining your weight. You ’re bound to indulge in many of your favorite foods that are only available during the holidays. It’s hard to stick to a healthy eating plan when there are so many delectable treats at every party and get-together.
Plan ahead so you can enjoy your favorite foods without letting your nutrition goals go out the window. To avoid packing on extra weight, balance what you eat with regular physical activity. You will gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn.

Remember that fruit is an easy, healthy choice for snacks - and can help you maintain your weight through the calorie packed holidays.
