It's Spring Festival, the time of a year when extra calories lurk around every corner at family reunion dinner, parties with friends and various kinds of banquets and feasts. It is often heard among friends that someone put on a pound or two this Spring Festival.

So what's the harm in a little holiday weight gain, especially if it's just a pound? If you never lose the weight they gain during the winter holidays, the pounds add up year after year, making holiday weight gain an important factor in obesity.

But you don't have to fall into this trap. It is possible to enjoy holiday goodies without putting on a single pound by adding the following vegetables and fruits in your recipe.
