Weight gain is caused by a common problem throughout the holidays, otherwise known as overeating.
Unfortunately, Thanksgiving is usually when the problem begins. Overeating can be overcome, and many professors, doctors and the likes have lots of tips on how to stay fit over the upcoming months that are full of feasts, desserts and other fattening foods. Myron Davis, a Weber State University professor in the health promotion and human performance department, said there is one thing people should remember in order to maintain their figures over the holdidays. There is a social pressure to come and eat. Excess weight can be cut down by doing simple things, such as drinking a lot of water or increasing physical activity.
