According to the JTA, Israeli Jews gained as much as 13 pounds over Yom Tov. Citing leading Israeli dietitians, Yom Tov feasting adds between 4.5 pounds and 13 pounds to the average Israeli’s waistline. The problem lies in the close succession of high-calorie holiday meals, experts say.

Good thing BAHAB is coming up in two weeks. (:-)
and they only keep one day!!
That means with our 3 day smichaton, we probably gained over 25lbs, keep on avoiding the scale for at least a month.
If that is in israel think about the americans, 3 times 3 day holidays!!!
I plead the fifth.
Its good we have those experts always solving those mysteries
we must thank Hashem for all the ‘SHEFA’ he gives us that we can have so much food to eat…Rabosei, Don’t complain!! Don’t forget, for a poor family a 3 day yom tov is a ‘nightmere’, because they have NO $$ for basic food for a bare minimum yom tov / shabbos ‘meal’. (during the week its peanut butter and jelly, and some macaroni)
YW,
Thanks for ruining my appetite with that horrible picture….well I guess that will help me lose some weight…
