Winter break can spur weight gain Dietician warns don't try to lose and offers advice on ways to maintain
By Daniel Niemi
Kansan staff writer
For many students, winter break is three solid weeks of sleeping until noon, napping on the couch in front of the television and making sure the refrigerator doesn't overwork itself keeping food cold.
The result is usually a student ready to return to school and, according to the Kansas Dietetic Association, a student who is four to six pounds heavier.

However, people who want to watch their weight indicate they have a few tips.
It also can be a severe test for those trying to keep their weight under control.

She said students could increase their amount of exercise and structure their time to help control
"Students are used to a fixed schedule at school, and they end up being bored when they go home," she said. "They eat 24 hours when rich food is right in front of them."
"They can prevent this by keeping busy, getting together with friends, going to movies, etc."
When confronted with food, the advice is moderation
The Kansas Dietetic Association suggests people eat until they are "comfortable" rather than full, even if it means leaving food on the plate.

"Don't set up food you can't eat." Kohl said. "If it's unavailable, you often want it more. Allow yourself to have anything you want in smaller quantities. A lot of times it comes out the overall calories are not higher than usual."
Gwin Kitos, a dietician with the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department, said people should have a plan of food intake.

to weight control," Kitos said.
The association advises that people don't waste calories on less-than-favorite foods such as potato chips, nuts and pretzels which are often impulse items.

"If you go five to six hours without food and go to Christmas dinner, you're going to eat two Christmas dinners," she said.
The association suggests people slow their pace while eating, because it takes 20 minutes for the brain to signal that the body is getting full.

Kohl said students shouldn't be disappointed by one day of overeating.
"There's no magical approach to weight loss," Kobi said. "Exercise and cut back on food."
Kohl said the best exercise for weight loss would be aerobic, such as walking, jogging, swimming or cycling 30 minutes a day for up to four days a week.
