Much of America may still be closed but it seems the fridge door is open in self-isolation.

confirm it's true that many Americans have been gaining weight in quarantine – pounds they may find hard to drop later.

This is the theory behind the"Freshman 15" hypothesis, Liguori says: Teens overwhelmed by intimidating college classes, new routines and"a brand new food environment" away from parental control tend to react by reaching unconsciously for"foods that are really familiar." It doesn't help, she says, that grocery stores, especially in the early quarantine days, quickly ran out of many food items and shoppers were stuck with whatever was available. People used to picking up fresh food on the way home from work had to stop that.

"In nutrition, rarely do things happen quickly – one piece of cake or a slice of pizza will not kill you," Liguori says."The problem is we don't know how long this is going to go on and it's important to try to get some healthy habits back. A 3 to 5 pound gain month after month will be more difficult to lose the longer go on."
