I'm subscribed to many fitness/health oriented updates.  One that I'm particularly fond of is Prevention.  Not only do I subscribe to their email updates, but I also receive their magazine.  I came across this article on how to avoid summer weight gain when partaking in all those fun, summer activities that so often involve food.  I encourage you to take a look at the link posted, as well as visit Prevention's online site:  http://www.prevention.com
