SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- While most people think of holiday weight gain as something that begins with Thanksgiving, the fact is that 81 percent of parents confess to taking candy from their kids' Halloween haul. Each year, Americans buy 600 million pounds of candy for Halloween, including 90 million pounds of chocolate (National Confectioner Association). The time to get a plan in place to prevent holiday weight gain is now! The average person gains about a pound between Thanksgiving and New Year's, studies show.
