In my own defense, I was probably remembering that when people are surveyed, many report that they gain five pounds over the holidays (which you also mention in your blog post). As so often happens, reality does not match perception. -Steve Hi, Travis.

Eat 3 lbs of dense foods on Christmas day, store up associated water that's needed for digestion (especially if you're also then storing up water with glycogen). How much do you gain? How much is left after a few days? I'd always thought that the 'gain 5-10 pounds during Christmas' was wacky, just based on 3500 cal/lb analysis. Funny thing about Travis' blog :) I ended up on Peter's video lecture (which I liked as an overview but my comments just would not register on youtube). Then got to a certain Sandy's blog that said that obese people are healthier. Hehe, right :) But she has no comment feature, so that's strange and reduces credibility. Then on to a debunker of her as a 'denier'. but the supposed debunkers seem to have also thought it was de facto heresy to question supposed Global Warming. Round and round :) I wonder how much of ‘gain’ is just GI contents.

Ain't the Interweb wunnerful? You're right that some weight gain after heavy eating is gastrointestinal contents and water. -Steve Hi, Ken. Ain’t the Interweb wunnerful?
