Although holiday weight gain is a reality for many people, here are a few strategies for avoiding those extra holiday pounds without shunning the festivities. You do not have to feel deprived this season ... just make compromises and better choices.

  • Eat slowly and listen to your hunger cues. If you are not hungry, pass on the second helpings.
