The holidays are filled with many wonderful things; celebrations, giving, family, and more! They are also filled with endless consumption of food, sweets, and alcohol.

The time between Thanksgiving and the New Year can be a time of struggle for those of you trying to lose weight, but losing the battle to leftover turkey sandwiches, holiday pies, and lazy evenings by the fire.
