“You’re kidding!“ Lose weight while travelling? No way! We all gain weights! Vacation is meant to relax, we eat, we drink, we party! I know, I know. We can have a fit vacation which we come back fresher, more energetic, and without gaining that extra pounds. I did not gain weight for all my trips in recent 3 years, I even lost 1kg in my latest trip – 3 weeks to Europe and I savored every single bite of gelatos, pastas and pizzas. I’ll just use this trip as example in this post then.
- Walk when you can
Let’s get 1 fact straight first: whether you walk or run, you burn about the same amount of calories for the same distance. On average, I walked a minimum of 12km (18000 steps) every day, that is about 600 calories deficit. I love walking! Perfect to see the place and locals in details, instead of rushing from one place to another.
- Incorporate active activities in itinerary
Almost every trip I planned some sort of hiking / trekking activities. First of all I love trekking, the stars at the night sky and the view at the peak are always very rewarding! I always look for mountains or national parks when I travel, it’s fun and a great way to maintain active lifestyle. If mountains are not for you, how about a few laps in the sea?
- Schedule workout
Yes, I still workout when I travel. Another fact to know: we lose stamina and muscle after just a week of stop working out. It’s faster than what we think! Because I don’t want to lose my hard-earned stamina and muscles, although I reduce my workout frequency (from 5 times to 2-3 times a week) just to maintain my fitness level. However I must also remind you not to be over-obsessed about it, it’s good to have a break once in a while for body to recover.
- Mind your food

“I only come here once in my life!” That’s a very dangerous mindset. I eat all those recommended local food as well, when I was in Italy I had gelatos almost every day, pastas & pizzas, chocolates and cheese. However I make sure not to over-eat. I savor every bite, but I’ll take 3-4 meals a day as usual, portion as usual. I also pack some healthy snacks or fruits with me all the time to prevent myself getting too hungry, because when we get too hungry we tend to eat too fast and too much.
- Relax!
The whole point of going on for a vacation. Relax, be stress-free, sleep enough, that helps!
- No party or drinking every day
My travel style is the same as my usual life style. If I don’t party every day in my home country, why would I go drinking every day? Cheers to more travels! 😉
