Enjoy vacation without gaining weight!

Its' summer and the best time for having a great vacation. The beautiful hotel with relaxation factor and great food is waiting for you. But keep in mind WHY you are going on vacation and again during your vacation. Is it to finally spend time with your loved ones or friends, because of the beautiful landscape, or just to relax, or indeed just for the food?


Hopefully it is not the latter since then your successful diet could possibly be in danger. Of course, you should not give up the pleasure of the great food on the menu or from the buffet. But do not make the food a high priority on your vacation todo list.

Here are some tips for a carefree vacation experience:

• Always use the small plate in the buffet restaurants. Then you won't be tempted to take too much from the buffet and you go a second time without remorse.
• Always fill your plate with at least 2/3 salad, vegetables and / or fruits
• If the menu/buffet offers soup (no cream soups!) then take/order a big portion of it. Soup gives you a good basis, but has few calories.
• Eat slowly and chew everything at least 20 to 30 times with each bite since the feeling of satiety sets in after about 20 minutes.
• Drink lots of water / tea with your meal to fill the stomach.
• Even if the all-inclusive services offer interesting alcoholic beverages, either mix them with water or drink water with them (preferably in a ratio of 2 waters to 1 alcoholic drink).
• Take advantage of the great environment around you and exercise. You can't imagine how many endorphins arise when you get up an hour earlier than planned and run a round on the beach or in the park.
• Spend most of your time with activities with your loved ones or friends, because that distracts from the food.

Have fun on vacation!
