[quote=Anonymous]My husband lost 60 pounds and kept it off and his approach on vacation that seems to work emphasizes the following three things:

1) Prioritize protein. He makes sure his meal is 3/4 protein. He basically eats as much protein as he wants, in any form he wants, but just makes sure its proportionately dominant relevant to carbs. You'll feel full and satiated for longer between meals and won't be starving when you sit down to eat your next meal. He also packs protein powder and a blender bottle to keep full between meals.
2) Pick one meal per day to go outside your "typical" eating habits. This does require some planning and forethought, but if he really wants to splash out on tacos, chips, and margaritas for dinner that night, he'll focus on eating more typical-for-him breakfast and lunch. 
3) Prioritize movement. He doesn't necessarily go to the gym or anything but will make a concerted effort to get steps in, swim laps at the pool, or choose a bike riding tour over something more sedentary.

Finally, enjoy your trip. These are the moments that make life worth living. If you loosen up more than you intended, don't beat yourself up. The most important thing is that you get back to your routine when you get back. [/quote]
