I recently spent summer vacation in Portugal with my entire American family. After 3 weeks of travel, I returned home weighing exactly the same as when I left. In this episode, I share the strategies and mindset that helped me maintain my weight during the trip.
Key Takeaways:
1. Plan Ahead: Think about how you'll manage your food and meals before your trip.
2. Stick to the Basics: Maintain the core elements of your regular routine, such as eating protein and vegetables and getting enough sleep.
3. Stay Active: Keep moving and stay engaged in physical activities.
4. Savor Local Foods: Enjoy the local cuisine, but in moderation. Be selective about what you truly want to eat. Nothing is off-limits, but be mindful of your choices.
5. Be Life-Focused: Prioritize connecting with family, learning about the culture, exploring the region, appreciate the laughter.
6. Keep the End in Mind: Focus on how you want to feel at the end of your vacation and make decisions that align with that desired feeling.
In short, take responsibility for your health and weight, rather than letting the vacation happen "to you." Anticipate moments of tension where you'll need to compromise and focus on what you can control.
It is 100% possible not to gain weight on vacation. Listen in for all my insider tips on how to achieve this!
