How not to gain too much weight during the holidays
***The biggest mistakes you might make over the holidays that would cause you to gain a LOT of weight are exposed in this post!***

>>> The Biggest Loser Season 8 biggest diet myths keeping you FAT!
1) MYTH – Fat free foods are low in calories and good diet food choices.
Products labeled “fat free” are not always better choices for losing weight. They may be overly processed and/or high in calories, salt and/or sugar. They may also contain fat. Be sure to read labels carefully for ingredients and serving sizes. A perfect example is cooking oil spray. The labels on most cans of cooking oil spray say that one serving has 0 grams of fat which means fat-free. But wait a minute — it’s a can full of oil after all. There have to be calories. Yes, there are — and they’re the most dense calories of all, fat calories.
