Holiday rollback: The easiest way to lose winter weight
Whew! You made it through the holidays, surviving Uncle Joe’s bombastic storytelling and that parade of pecan pies and rum-laced eggnog. The downside? You probably gained a bit of weight. An eight-week study
from Texas Tech tracked 150 adults and found that the average holiday weight increase is about 2 pounds for men and 1 pound for women (although some participants gained up to 13 pounds!). And even a little holiday weight gain over 10 to 20 seasons may leave you busting your seams, not to mention damaging your heart health and risking out of control blood sugar levels.
Unfortunately, shedding accumulating pounds can be frustrating. That’s why there’s low-carb, high-carb, intermittent fasting and other trendy eating styles. They all claim to work, but leave you going from one to the other, year after year, in pursuit of results that endure.
Have we got news for you!
As Dr. Mike and Dr. Crupain explainedon the Jan. 2 edition of “The Dr. Oz Show,” when you eat is more important than what you eat (that doesn’t mean what you eat doesn’t matter!). There’s brand-new science that shows your weight and your overall health benefit enormously when you time your intake of specific types of food to sync up with your natural metabolic rhythms.
It’s that groundbreaking insight that fuels their new book, “What to Eat When.” 31 Days to a Healthier You — and Habits to Last a Lifetime We don’t expect you to totally renovate your eating habits in 31 days — but you can launch yourself on a trajectory that will
make you younger and healthier as you shed excess pounds.
