#56 - How To Not Get Fat During Vacation and Cure the Hangovers

The booze, the yummy food, the endless buffets!!  What can we do so we don't get so fat?

Summary

SHIFT YOUR MINDSET                                                                                                               It all begins by reframing your mind.  Drop the "It's vacation, I'll do whatever I want" mentality and adapt the healthy and conscious mindset.  One that views food as a source of fuel, nourishment and places a HIGH LEVEL of importance on feeling good.  

REDUCE YOUR CARBS 2 WEEKS PRIOR                                                                                  This will deplete your glycogen stores in your muscles (stored fat) so that when/if you over indulge during the vacation those access carbs have a better shot at going back into your muscle cells versus getting stored as fat!

I highly recommend nutritional cleansing, so you purify the body before AND after your vacation to stay lean, fit and healthy from the inside out.  Wondering what I recommend and use on a daily basis?  Send an email to brian@brianlarson.life

BRING HEALTHY PRODUCTS/OPTIONS ALONG                                                                      Many bad decisions come from lack of options.  So be proactive and bring along HEALTHY and convenient options that are loaded with nutrients to ensure that you're still getting the nutrients that you need each day.  Careful with the products you select, many companies are great at marketing, but have unhealthy products/ingredients.  Send me an email if you'd like to chat about what I take. 

DON'T SKIP YOUR WORKOUTS PRIOR TO LEAVING AND GET SOME IN WHILE THERE            I get it, you're not going on vacation to lose weight and get in shape.  However, you shouldn't be going on vacation to gain weight and get out of shape either.  Stay balanced and try to maintain what you've gained so far.  Do this by ramping up your intensity 2 weeks prior to vacation and then get 2-3 basic workouts in during vacation.  They don't have to be extreme.  Just a 15-20min burst workout will do! 

SKIP THE SUGARY BOOZE DRINKS!                                                                                         This pretty self explanatory.  Try and stick to basic liquors WITHOUT mixers, wine, or beer. This will dramatically save on your calories and sugar to help you keep the weight off and stay lean.
