A study found the average person consume 2-3 servings of dinner at Christmas or equal to 2300 calories. This means 115 percent more than the recommended daily intake for women and 92 percent for men.
A survey found about three-quarters of participants who were questioned admitted that he was very pampering yourself at Christmas and not think about the consequences of the food they consume.
The study found the food consumed at Christmas as turkey, pies, puddings and other foods with high calories takes about 3 months to remove it from the body.

"The plan is carried out after Christmas diet should be reasonable and balanced, because it was too fast to lose weight will not make a person able to maintain ideal body weight," he said.
