Dieting is the worst way to lose weight. Especially coming up to the holidays!

I know, it’s counterintuitive to all we’ve been told. But deep down, you probably already know that dieting just makes you crave what you're "not supposed to be eating", very few people have the willpower to be as restrictive as diets require and you just end up beating yourself up every time you fall off the wagon. Sound familiar?

You might have even made one of the following mistakes...

• Resigning yourself to gaining 5 (or 10) pounds over Christmas
• Starving yourself all day so you can “eat what you want” at the party
• Dieting before the season so you have more room to gain a few over the holidays

These make it worse. And it's okay, we’ve made all of these mistakes too.

That's why we recording this episode - so we can crack open the worry that many midlife women carry into November and December: the belief that gaining “the holiday five” is inevitable.

You'll discover:

• the real reason women gain weight in the fall/winter
• the common holiday mistakes that make the weight gain worse

Plus, we’re giving away our best secrets for enjoying the party food in your belly, without it turning to belly FAT.
