How to avoid weight gaining during festive season

The festive season is a time of joy, reunion and indulgence.

Tables groan under the weight of traditional delicacies, invitations arrive in quick succession and routines are happily relaxed. Yet for many people, this period also brings an unwelcome companion in the form of weight gain. Avoiding it does not require denying oneself the pleasures of the season but rather approaching them with awareness, balance and a measure of self respect.One of the most important steps is to recognise that weight gain during festivities is usually the result of small excesses repeated over several days rather than one grand feast. When celebrations stretch across weeks, the body has little opportunity to recover from constant overeating. Being mindful of this cumulative effect helps people make wiser choices without feeling deprived. Enjoying favourite foods on selected occasions rather than at every opportunity can make a significant difference.
