Episode notes
Holiday Season Drives Annual Weight Gain
- Most adults gain 1.1–2.2 pounds per year and this accumulates over time into significant weight gain.
- Research shows the majority of that yearly gain happens during the holiday season and is rarely lost afterward.
Eat At Maintenance Through Holidays
- Transition out of a dieting phase and eat at maintenance during the holidays to protect progress and performance.
- Use the extra calories to fuel training, build muscle, and increase metabolic resilience before events.
Prioritize Only Key Celebrations
- Treat each holiday as an individual day and prioritize the few events that matter most to you.
- Avoid turning the season into a six-week binge by not celebrating every gathering as a holiday feast.
