It can be difficult when people around you are eating cake, ice-cream and choosing high calorie food. Being on holiday isn't just about resting, relaxing and having fun, it is also about not having to worry about many of the issues that cause us stress at home. For many people this includes having to be mindful of what they eat.
There are a few things that you can do to ensure that you don't gain too much holiday weight and can still enjoy yourself:
- Continue to drink plenty of water
- For every sugary drink have a drink of water, including alcohol and soft drinks
- Choose one meal to really enjoy and be a little more mindful for the two other meals
- Choose one small treat each day
- Eat small portions of your favourite holiday foods (this means that you don't miss out on any of your favourite foods and at the same time you don't over eat)
- Continue to eat lots of vegetables (not potatoes)
- If possible have one non-animal food meal a day
- When on holiday for more than a week have one day a week for eating less
The important thing to remember that this is YOUR choice. You can choose to forget all about eating mindfully and continue to loose weight when you return home.
Enjoy your next holiday
