How to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain — 5 Simple Steps That Work
Holiday weight gain is real—most people add extra pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year without even realizing it. In today’s Biblical Prescription for Life, Dr. James Marcum shares 5 simple weight loss tips you can use throughout the holiday season to stay healthy, avoid overeating, and support long-term weight management.
These practical, faith-based steps focus on what you can do, not what you can’t:
✔️ Eat vegetables first
✔️ Drink water with every meal
✔️ Walk after you eat
✔️ Try intermittent fasting
✔️ Be intentional—track your progress
Whether you’re aiming for fat loss, healthy eating, clean eating, or just preventing holiday weight gain, these tools can help you move toward a true weight loss transformation.
Dr. Marcum also shares a meaningful reminder from Isaiah 9:6—keeping Christ at the center of the season is the real reason we celebrate.
