\"\"It\u2019s that time of year when the holiday get-togethers<\/a> are flowing with ridiculous amounts of food and drinks.\u00a0 Thanksgiving is known as a \u201cgorging day,\u201d as many Americans shovel platefuls of turkey into their mouth, wash it down with a little alcohol and work it all off by watching football on the couch.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to break this cycle, but according to Marie Claire “it takes 3,500 excess calories to gain a pound, so you might escape from your holiday feast with little to show for it.”<\/p>\n
