The importance of enjoying your vacation without obsessing over calories or the scale. The goal when trying to lose fat and keep it off for good is balance. This is the main reason I am not a huge supplement guy or do not look for quick fixes in regards to nutrition. (Iam not talking about a protein shake or a pre workout here and there.)I am talking about a restrictive low carb low fat diet that consist mostly of liquid. If you are on a low calorie restricted diet, then have a week of exploring and trying new foods. Their is a good chance you will gain a significant amount of weight and thus starts the yoyo effect. Your body starts constantly battling between low calorie days and high calorie days. This can effect your metabolism and be taxing on the digestive system. If you normally eat a healthy well balanced diet, a few extra calories here and their will not have the same effect. If your body is use to getting enough nutrients, exercise, and rest. Your metabolism will be primed to burn off extra calorie consumption. Even if you do pack on a few extra pounds during vacation, it will come off a lot quicker.


  Being healthy isn't just about a look its a way of life. Treating others well, having good relationships with family members and loved ones. Go travel as often as you can, taste the amazing food this world has to offer. Keep your body strong and your mind stronger! Its important to take time everyday to work on yourself. When you get a chance to travel, walk as often as you can. Not just because it will help burn off some of those extra calories, but so you can experience the culture and breath in the air.  Talk to the locals, go hiking, find something you can do outdoors! Life is not meant to be spent in one spot, so travel far, and travel often! Their is something that cannot be learned in books, it can only be learned through experiences. The main goal is tying to find a healthy balance in all aspects of life. This can be extremely hard to do, and is definitely not a one size fits all answer. That is one of the beautiful thing in about life. Every person has to find a balance that works for them! So my advice is not to jump on a scale or count a calorie while your traveling. Enjoy the food, explore as much as you can and enjoy every minute of it!!
