Dieting through the holiday season is a grind—who wants to skip out on all the good food and fun? Instead of white-knuckling your way through, embrace “The Season of Gains.” Here's the deal: the longer and harder you diet, the more your metabolism slows down. The fix? Lean into the “additional calories” of the holidays. You’ll have a better fitness: life balance, and set yourself up for easier fat loss later. 3 Reasons to Treat the Holidays as The Season of Gains: 1. More Food = Higher Metabolism Low-calorie diets slow your metabolism. Increasing calories resets those fat-burning hormones, priming your body for better results. 2. Muscle Burns Calories Muscle tissue burns calories even when you’re chilling on the couch. More muscle = higher calorie burn. 3. Muscle is a Dietary Buffer Ever seen that jacked guy who eats everything and still has abs? That’s the power of muscle. It’s like a cheat code for calorie-burning. This season, focus on enjoying life, not obsessing over every calorie. You’ll be setting yourself up to get leaner when it’s time.
