Pandemic Weight Gain Now Called "Quarantine 15”

They're calling it the "Quarantine 15!" It's the new nickname for those pounds you've packed on while being trapped inside.Nutrition expert Daniel Thomas said it's an easy thing to do noting: "Mostly just like boredom eating because if you don't have a routine you just kinda get bored of sitting there all day.

So you just kind of start snacking." Dietitian Paul Robertson recommends keeping track of what you're eating and when and it's a healthy quantity and using smaller plates. He also suggests slowing down when you eat and eliminate distractions like cell phones and TV while you're eating.

He suggested, "If you're struggling with emotional eating have that list of two or three things you can do besides turning to food number one. Also, have somebody hold you accountable for that particular plan that you have. It really needs to be somebody whose opinion that that particular individual cares about."
