  • Of those who are giving up their healthy habits for the holidays, 64% expect to gain as much as eight pounds over the holidays.
  • 39% say that in previous years they overindulged so much they felt "unwell and full to the point of bursting and even wore stretchy clothes to accommodate overeating.”
  • Many will make New Year’s resolutions to stay healthy, with 64% of those polled saying they plan to adopt a "new year, new me" attitude.
  • But many doubt they will actually do it, with 32% of those who make such New Year’s resolutions not expecting to stick with them.
  •  As for those who do plan to get healthy in the New Year, the top way they plan to do so is by exercising (27%), followed by
    • Eating healthier (25%)
