weight loss and the beach

A very popular vacation in this area is to "go to the beach"...no one ever identifies which beach they are going to, just the geenral "beach". Many, rather than taking hotel rooms, rent houses which makes it much more children-friendly. Meals then become under control of the parents. In many cases more than one family unit is cohabitating the house.

For those in charge of meal planning, be very senstivie to the size/weight pf the guests who will be there. If there are a number of overweight adults and children, ensure there are many healthy choices available at each meal. Historically we weel that"beach" food is all about snacks, high carbs, alcohol, desserts etc. There are no rules to this. The waves and water are every bit as fun woithout a stomach full of high-caloric foods.

Plan the meals and be senstive to peoples needs.
