Much is made of holiday eating and weight. We are cautioned to be wary of the former, for the extent to which we partake in it will surely influence the latter.
Such assumptions, though, are off base and reflect misunderstandings regarding the complexities of weight regulation in general and the influence that a relatively small amount of eating will have.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Safe travels and enjoy the holiday.
Thanks,
Jonah Soolman, Registered Dietitian / Co-Owner
