Obesity is on the rise, and the fundamental causes of this development are still a source of debate. The extent of holiday weight gain and its relation to annual weight gain was recently investigated. The study aims to review the literature to ascertain the consequences of holidays on weight gain. In India, holidays during summer vacation and festive show a significant rise in weight gain, whereas in USA UK, the 6-week long winter vacation shows a significant rise in weight gain. The COVID-19 Millions of people's habits were undoubtedly changed by the imposed lockdown to control the pandemic. People of all ages have reduced physical activity and had their food habits influenced by imprisonment, which was marked by the confiscation of most activities. Likewise, during the 6-week holiday season, weight transformation represent 51% of annual weight gain among the total public. Even though the absolute values for weight gain in this study were weaker than anticipated, these findings demonstrate that holiday weight gain may be a critical enabler to the rising epidemic of obesity. To substantiate these findings, greater exploration using representative populations seems needed. The volunteers were weighed four times at six-to-eight-week intervals to ensure weight change for three periods: just before the holiday, during the holiday, then after the holiday. To shield the core concept of interest, the subjects provided data on other vital signs and self-reported health metrics. We highlight the instance of an NHS healthcare worker, which is the first of its kind, in which fasting and other elements have played a hand in shaping substantial weight fluctuations.
