I had a patient visit yesterday with a gentleman who was in Hawaii for over a week, had not been to the office in 2 weeks, and before he stepped on the sclae, i was expecting a weight gain. He is a very good and fun guy and previously informed me that on vacations he liked to have some good drinks and fun food. To my surprise he lost 4 pounds since his last visit. I asked him to advise anyone going on vacation how to lose weight and still have a great time and this was his advice:
1- Drink alcohol perhaps heavily the first day or 2, then stop or signficantly reduce the alcohol consumption you normally would have done
2-keep portions underr control
3- step up your exercise...most places have great gyms or spas...use it!
4- Limit the high caloric desserts, fruits etc...do not eliminate them..just watch the portions.
Vacations are challenging..no doubt, but if we do not go into it with the mindset that you are "being let out of jail", right choices wil be made to maintain steadfast in ytour weight loss progression,
