5 Tips to Prevent Vacation Weight Gain

Whether you vacation every year or you’ve saved up for many years to treat yourself to a dream getaway, the fear of gaining “vacation weight” can be very stressful. I’ve come up with 5 tips to help you maintain your weight while on vacation.

If you’re near a beach, make sure you go for a walk each day in the sand. Walking in sand burns twice the calories as walking on pavement. Strive for a pace of about 4 miles per hour for optimal weight loss. Don’t forget to wear proper shoes and always have a bottle of water with you to keep hydrated.

Take advantage of the ocean, lakes or pools. Swimming is a great form of exercise that works out your whole body while being fun at the same time.

Always have a healthy snack with you to keep from eating too much later. It will be easier to eat every few hours if you have something handy with you while you’re sight-seeing. If you are going to eat a big meal, make it earlier in the day so you have more time to burn the calories off.

Check out the local dance clubs and dance the night away. Exotic foods and drinks can be very high in calories, but dancing is a fun way to burn them all off. Stay away from too many alcoholic drinks as most of them contain a lot of calories and are very bloating.

Stay away from the all-you-can-eat buffets. They’re nasty. Enough said.

By making conscious choices about eating and exercising, you won’t gain any weight while on vacation and you can enjoy your time off guilt-free!
