Avoid Weight Gain During Holidays The secret to weight control — at holiday time or any other time -- is to never let the scale creep up more than five pounds over your normal weight. Five pounds is not too difficult to deal with; twenty five pounds is a different • story. Unwanted gifts are easy to exchange, but those extra pounds . are something else. The best and most sensible way to get rid of the unwanted• pounds is to eat your regular balanced diet, but eat just half as much as usual.
