[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the vacation. Touring a city where you'll be doing a lot of walking and where eating at restaurants means small portions that are really expensive? You'll probably be fine. Going to an all-inclusive resort or cruise where you'll be force-fed multiple meals a day? Ehhhh, good luck.

It's vacation. Enjoy life, then resume your normal routine when you return home. Five pounds really isn't that big a deal. Especially if it's just bloat, which it most likely would be from eating/drinking in excess for a week or two. That will melt off once you resume your normal routine.

If there's a deeper issue, such as indulging will send you into a relapse of overeating or excessive drinking that would be hard to break when you return home, then that's trickier. You'd need to plan your meals and avoid temptation.

Reducing the number of times I sit at a table is my main technique, because I suck at moderation once I'm eating. When I travel, I like to have a solid hotel breakfast, and then I won't be hungry again until late afternoon. I'll have a single meal that serves as late lunch / early dinner. As long as I'm moving and sight-seeing, I won't feel an urge to snack. It's staying in one place that brings out the munchies, whether it's lounging by the pool or being tied to an office desk.[/quote]
