You're right. It's never just one day that causes a problem. It's all the many special days that add up to the average person being overweight or having a high percentage of body fat. It was reported in the news that the average person only gains about 1 pound per year. Well, heck, that's only a little over one ounce per month. That's nothing!!
Obviously, since that's an average, some don't gain and some gain a lot more than average. And that's what does it, coupled with the fact that people gradually lose muscle mass as they get older. (Less muscle and more fat adds up to a high percentage of body fat.) And this is bad for your health.
The proof is in the statistics: 2/3 of Americans are overweight. And the problem is: Too many days that are counted as, "only one day."
