What did you have to eat for Thanksgiving?

If you were anything like the average American family, your Thanksgiving meal likely looked something like this:

Turkey (of course). And eaten with the skin
Mashed potatoes
Dressing, lots of bread
Rolls, even more bread
Sweet potatoes. With or without marshmallows
Pie. Lots of pie.
Don’t forget the gravy

And that’s all just the appetizer course. Remember all the cheese, shrimp, crackers, beef stick, and other snacks you also ate during the game?

Whenever you visit your doctor, they’ll invariably say the same thing – “you need to lose some weight”.

It doesn’t matter how much over your percentile weight class you are, it’s as if doctors are pre-programmed to say this to every one of their patients, no matter how seemingly healthy they are.

Sure, Web Watch was told by our physician once — once, we’ll stress — that we needed to put a few pounds on to maintain a healthy equilibrium, but this was truly an exception rather than a rule.

Who doesn’t love a good buffet?

Every time that Web Watch heads out to Las Vegas, we make visiting the casino’s buffet a “must do” on our trip. Granted, we may only do it once per weekend – but it’s still a bucket list check item.

Losing weight is a constant battle for some. And as Web Watch has told you previously, it really all comes down to taking in fewer calories than you burn up in a day. Sure, there are other influences involved, such as the family gene pool or other non-controllable items — but for the vast majority of us, weight loss really is about reducing our food intake in a smart manner.

The Freshman 15 Workout

You know all those stories about college girls gaining weight in their first year of school? The dreaded “Freshman 15”?

Yeah, it’s a total lie.

That’s right — freshmen do NOT gain 15 extra pounds when they’re away at college due to the awesomeness of the college cafeteria meal plan.

Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation System

With Halloween right around the corner, we’re at the start of the annual Winter Get Fat season (comprised of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day — combined with all those weekly college and pro sports that require copious amounts of beer and wings every week).

So it should come as no surprise that fitness companies are already figuring out what they need to do in order to help us stay fit and healthy — or at the very least, get us back on the healthy road for the rest of the year come January 1st.
