Maximize your vacation while minimizing your waistline

Thanks to a study done by R.D.  Michelle Shepherd at the University of Georgia 61 percent of Americans gain weight while on vacation; they refer to this statistic as ‘creeping obesity’. According to the article posted on Men’s Health, there IS a way to stick to your diet while on vacation- follow the 12-step plan. Some of these suggestions, like #1. book a room with a kitchen, is a detail that needs to be planned out months in advance, and is sometimes just not possible. But I really believe the article gets it right in tip #7, wake up and workout. It’s great if your hotel has a fitness center, but why not try some early morning exploring on foot outside of your hotel? Go for a power walk through your temporary host city and get in a JōbuFIT #nothoughtlegworkout !! Just remember – especially if you are in a country that doesn’t speak your mother tongue- pack the hotel’s business card in case you get lost.
