Strategies can help
avoid holiday pounds
Many nutritionists say
moderation is the key to
keeping extra pounds off
By Sarah Skidmore
Oregon Daily Emerald
Gravy for turkey, frosting on
cookies and egg in eggnog can
make many students get the Santa
Claus physique they never wanted.
The average person gains eight
to 10 pounds during the period be
tween Thanksgiving and New
Years, Student Health Center nu
tritionist Kristen Olmos said.
“It is pretty hard to control my
self, and my dad is a pastry chef, so
that doesn’t help much,” said
Matthew Holton, junior majoring in
political science and philosophy.
Both the joy and stress of the
holidays can bring on these extra
pounds. But by making educated
decisions, the weight gain can be
avoided.
“I think it is possible to main
tain a healthy lifestyle and healthy
weight through the holidays. But
people need to go into the whole
season being aware,” Olmos said.
Holiday gatherings frequently
include foods that are high in fat
and people tend to consume them
in excess, she said. She also noted
that students should be particular
ly wary of the empty calories of al
cohol.

“I tend to drink more because I
don’t have to worry about going
class,” sophomore Andy Beyer said.
Preventing the holiday weight
gain does not mean missing all the
holiday treats and drinks. Depri
vation is not a good tool for weight
loss.Olmos said.
“Go ahead and have the gravy,
have the candied yams, but have
them in moderation,” Olsom said.
Weight Watchers offers several
tips on avoiding the weight gain.
Never go to a party hungry, again
avoiding the munchies. Nibble on
high-fiber foods. Vegetables can
keep you feeling full longer and
are better for you than nuts or
chips. Try anything you want in
moderation; you won’t feel de
prived or guilty, according to
Weight Watchers. Eat at a moder
ate pace, it takes time for your
body to let you know it is full.
Drink water between courses to
help fill up and keep healthy.
“People in general tend to over
do it during the holidays,” Olmos
said.
Incorporating physical activities
into your social scene can also be
beneficial, Olmos said. After a fam
ily meal, suggest a walk together.
If you do over-indulge, do not
beat yourself up over it, Olmos
said. Take the holidays as a time
to be happy.
