With Thanksgiving just around the corner, understanding that the holiday season can be a vulnerable time for weight gain is crucial if you want to avoid those dreaded extra pounds.
Most adults will gain *0.8 to 2 pounds during the holidays, doesn’t sound too bad right?
The problem with weight gain during the holidays is that the weight typically does NOT come off after the holidays. So, this 0.8-to-2-pound gain accumulates over the years.
This is even more complex if you also struggle with fatigue regularly or a chronic condition like diabetes, high cholesterol or obesity. Struggling with obesity can have a detrimental effect on your metabolic health over time.
If you have struggled with your weight goals and have tried diets and lifestyle adjustments in the past but still find yourself unable to get out of the obesity category, there are still options for you. The ups and downs of your weight journey can be difficult emotionally and psychologically, we understand this.
Medications like GLP-1s can be a game changer for you. They are safe, effective and have other benefits beyond weight loss. Of course, using medications like semaglutide are only effective when combined with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity and when prescribed and monitored by a licensed provider.
