What’s the best part of the holiday season. Getting together with friends and family. What’s the second best part? The food. All of those delicious holiday treats that we enjoy at parties and gatherings this most wonderful time of year.
But with all of that nibbling and buffet grazing comes our least favorite part. Weight gain. And lots of it.
