In this brief video segment, Victoria S. Dorsano explains that avoiding weight gain over the holidays is possible, but it requires strategic planning. She highlights a common mistake: skipping meals or eating very light meals before a big holiday feast in an attempt to “save calories.” This approach leads to severe hunger, blood‑sugar crashes, intense cravings, and ultimately overeating, which can cause more calorie intake than originally intended. Dorsano notes that this phenomenon is well‑documented by dietitians and nutrition professionals, who observe that meal skipping often results in compensatory overeating at the next meal. She invites viewers to watch her full video for additional strategies.
