The holiday season is always filled with indulgence.  For example:  cookie exchanges, fudge recipes, family feasts, and so much more.

While it may seem like you really pack on the pounds during this time of year, they say the average American gains just one pound.

Here are a few tips to get you back on track in 2018.

1.  Eat on a schedule.  Start each morning with a hearty breakfast.

2.  Don't starve yourself.  Eating too little will cause your body to go into conservation mode.

3.  Drink lots of water and avoid soda.  Click here on momseveryday.com for more information.
