Christmas weight gain can be lost with a few easy steps.

London, 01/05/07 - Along with the tasty treats the Christmas season brings, also
comes the battle of the bulge. According to health & fitness expert Dr. Luke
Michael Howard, \"On Average, Americans will put on 8 pounds over this Christmas
season.\"

The weight gain is due to families spending more time inside, the consumption of
more sugary treats, and Christmas and new year leftovers.

This then is associated with many negative effects, including less energy and
increased health problems.

Dr. Luke Michael Howard recommends 5 tips to get back in shape after Christmas and
the new year, while still enjoying the food.

1. Enjoy family walks around the block. Too often families get stuck around the
Television, while waiting for the food. Before or after dinner take a walk with the
family to get fresh air and exercise.

2. Have healthy vegetable or fruit trays to go along with sweets or chips, while
you\'re waiting for meals. By having a variety food, then you\'re more likely to mix
your snacks with healthy alternatives.

3. Limit alcohol consumption. Most people think little of it, but alcohol drinks
add huge amounts of calories to diets without easily noticing it.

4. Drink more water. Plentiful amounts of water boost metabolism and help people
bodies running at 100%.

5. Eat big meals earlier in the day. By eating later in the day, then your body
can more effectively burn calories.
