Health experts say that the majority of weight people gain each year is directly related to the increased eating done between Thanksgiving and New Year's.

This doesn't mean you have to avoid all your favorite holiday treats – just be conscious of how much you are eating. And, most importantly, KEEP HYDRATED. Three liters of water a day with fresh lemon helps speed up your metabolism and keep energy levels high. It will also prevent sugar cravings – so when you do indulge, you will eat a lot less.
