Traveling nutrition and fat loss

I received an odd question this week, asking me how someone should eat while on holidays if they want to lose fat.

I'm quite sure the person knows the answer. You eat the exact same on vacation as you do at home - if you want to lose fat.

But I think they wanted to hear me say that when on holiday, you can eat whatever you want. But of course, that is not the case.

What happens in vegas does NOT stay in vegas, when it comes to calories and diseases. Holiday calories are not magically less-fattening than calories at home.

So if you are commited to fat loss while traveling, don't stray from dr. Mohr's fat loss recommendations.

Otherwise, simply understand that there will be consequences if you eat a hugw bowl of pasta and drink a bottle of vino each night.

On the other hand, it is easy to lose bodyfat while on holiday. I know that I just did it.

By being very active in the water and sightseeing, along with eating properly - seared tuna, steak, sushi, an unbelievably delicious beef and prawn garden salad, along with bowls of local seasonal vegetables.

Simply, more calories were burned then were consumed.

Deilicious food, lots of exercise.

Airports and airplanes arer easily overcome by packing apples and nuts. And by saying no to anything that doesn't fit your plan...you can probably survive a 4 hour flight to mexico without the need for booze or processed airplane carbohydrates.

In the end, I guess you need to ask yourself why you are going on holiday...

Is it to get away from the stress of work and spend quality time with others?

Or is it to eat junk?

If its the latter, why not just stay home and save yourslef the traveling money?

Eat well for energy and you'll have your best vacation ever,
