In all cases, the time after the holidays accounted for the bulk of the mass of the body, and to return to its former shape takes approximately six months. So the Americans during the long holidays to recover by 0.6%, while the Japanese with the Germans by 0.8%. Eventually to half of autumn the representatives of the analyzed countries are the most slender and emaciated, after which again there is a weight gain.
