Scientists studied 100 people during the indulgent period spanning Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
Whether it’s Thanksgiving or the 4th of July, it’s all too easy to unthinkingly scarf down treats that make the pounds pile on. But scientists believe weighing yourself once a day could be enough to prevent weight gain during the holidays.
For the paper published in the journal Obesity, scientists recruited 111 adults aged between 18 and 65. A total of 56 were asked to weigh themselves daily between Thanksgiving 2017 to New Years’ Day 2018. They also showed the participants a graphic reflecting how their weight changed, and asked them to try to maintain their original weight—but didn't tell them how. This left the ball in the court of the participants to try to achieve that goal.
"Vacations and holidays are probably the two times of year people are most susceptible to weight gain in a very short period of time. The holidays can actually have a big impact on someone's long-term health," Cooper said. "When they see that discrepancy, it tends to lead to behavioral change. Daily self-weighing ends up doing that for people in a really clear way."
