Take good note of these tips and you will avoid, effortlessly and while still enjoying, that your health and figure suffer during vacation. It’s not about spending the whole vacation thinking about calories or going hungry, but rather about finding balance and compensating. Take good note of these tips and you will avoid, effortlessly and while still enjoying, that your health and figure suffer during vacation:

1. Try to eat healthily. We know we are on vacation and that “one day is one day,” but even though it’s hard to control ourselves, it’s worth remembering that there are also healthy dishes on restaurant menus.
2. Don’t eat as if the world is ending. Sometimes, because we don’t know how restaurant portions are or simply because we are hungry, we over-order food and then feel obligated to finish it all. It’s better to be moderate, and if we are still hungry, we can always order more.
3. Compensate. If we know we are going to have a hearty meal, we can alternate with a light dinner or vice versa.
4. Don’t skip meals. We should have five meals a day, and it’s preferable to balance them rather than skip any, because in that way, we achieve the opposite effect: our body becomes thrifty because it doesn’t know how long it will be until it receives food again.
5. Get active! We all know that boredom opens up our appetite, and when we spend a whole morning lying in the sun at the beach, we get really hungry. That’s why it’s good to have some activity; if we are at the beach, we can enjoy a walk, swim, play paddleball, etc., instead of just staying on the towel.
6. Eat plenty of fruit. Especially in the mid-morning and at snack time, and don’t peel it. It’s also a good trick to have a piece of fruit and a glass of water before eating, so we don’t arrive at the table too hungry.
7. Drink water. As the heat starts, we move from one place to another to explore the city, and our body gets dehydrated, so we should always have a bottle of water with us and drink frequently.
8. Opt for detoxifying foods. Herbal teas, asparagus, artichokes, or squashes will help you avoid dreaded water retention and cleanse your body.
9. Take the opportunity to move. We are on vacation and have no stress or rush, so why not walk to places or take the stairs instead of using the elevator?
10. Relax. This point may seem obvious since we are on vacation, but many people feel anxious because they are not working or because they will soon have to return to their routine, and anxiety causes excessive appetite, especially for sweet foods. So, disconnect and enjoy your days off!
