Surveys have shown that on average, Americans gain five to seven pounds in the winter. The summer swimsuit goal seems way, way off into the future. The colder weather and longer nights keep people indoors more. And the onslaught of holiday parties has people eating higher calorie foods more often. Surprising that the average gain isn’t even more!

Here’s the first tip to combat this: never go to a party hungry. Since we eat up to 40% more calories when away from the home, make sure you’ve filled up on high-fiber, high protein foods before you leave. You’ll be far less tempted to overeat when you arrive already full. Plus you’ll be better able to focus on what they person you’re talking to is saying rather than what you’re going to eat next.
