Media reports say that most people gain between 5 and 10 pounds of body fat in the six weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the average amount is much more modest – just over a pound.
However, even modest holiday weight gain may be cause for concern:
A study by the National Institutes of Health found that this seasonal weight gain – even just a pound – is usually not lost after the holidays; it simply adds to the “weight creep” that “sneaks up” on you as you get older.
How does a person wake up one morning at age 40 and see that he gained 20 pounds of lard since he was 20 years old?
One pound at a time… unchecked… unnoticed… unconcerned
You might think that gaining 10 pounds all at once is bad, but slow weight creep is the most insidious type of weight gain and it can affect everyone – whether you’re already lean or not.
This holiday season, I’m calling for an end to the holiday weight gain madness…
I have some serious and powerful thoughts for you to ponder…
I have a challenge for you…

When I started Tom’s Burn The Fat diet program in January, I weighed 317 pounds. As of Dec. 1st, I weigh 226 lbs. 91 pounds of fat gone forever is a pretty cool thing! And by the way… I turned 40 this year, so if anyone out there is thinking that you are “too old” – think again.
When I started the program in September, I was 248 pounds with 24% bodyfat. With Tom’s information, I have been able to lose 43 pounds – all of it fat. My Body fat is now 12%. I also no longer spend $400 a month on supplements.
I bought Burn The Fat last October and I’m now so low in body fat you can see the striations. I’ve often been lean in the past, but never like this. This is Brad Pitt in Fight Club low! I have a hip-bone skinfold pinch of 2.0 mm, which on the accumeasure chart = 4.5% body fat. I couldn’t be more pleased.
I started the program at 254 lbs and 36% body fat. I am now down to 214 lbs and 22% bodyfat, so I have lost 44 lbs of fat and gained 5 lbs of lean body mass. ”

Thank God for your program because I’ve only been on it for just over a week and I’m already seeing results. I’m fitting into pants that I couldn’t get into a 7 days ago. It’s a wonderful thing to finally find something that works. “
Burn The Fat Feed the Muscle (BFFM) has changed my life. I have lost 3 dress sizes in 4 months and feel better than ever before. I now have my husband on the program. If we can do it with 4 kids and full time jobs — anyone can.
I like the nutrition program because I can customize it to my liking. I never get bored.
