In 2000, the New England Journal of Medicine released a study, which revealed that the average American gained less than one pound over the holiday season.
Obviously the “average” American does not eat with my family.
In the 10 years that has passed since that most recent report by the New England Journal of Medicine was released, over two-thirds of Americans are presently overweight or obese.
Whether we believe that the true amount that an American gains over the holidays is 5 pounds, or as much as 7 to 10 pounds as some reports indicate, that same study by the New England Journal of Medicine concludes that “people don’t tend to lose the weight they gain over the holidays, and the holiday season may be a key contributor to long-term weight gain in adults.”
