Well you we all have been in this situation before
How can I explain that rapid gain of weight after a couple of days of vacation or a long weekend with hotel breakfast and meals and restaurants and fast foods and coffee shops? We're trying to keep it balanced, but when we come back home and we weigh ourselves the bad news arrives: we gained 3 kg or 6.5 lb.
What am I gonna to do about it?
So stay cool, this weight gain is probably not explained by more fat, probably not more then 20% of this is fat indeed.
And that is because all the food we eat outside of home is very salty, cause they want us to love the food, order more of it and come back and eat there again.
So the breads and baguettes and croissants and pancakes and so on are very salty, the eggs and the sausages and the beans are quite salty, the prepared salads and the cheeses are very salty. Same for the hot meals, the rice and pasta and potatoes and chips and the meats and the fish and seafood are all very salty.
Even the kids`s meals are salty.
And you eat a lot of it because it's so tasty.
The trouble is that too much salt leads your body to fluid retention in order to dilute all this salt, the body retains more water.
If you pay attention you will see that you pee less at the hotel or B&B, and if you suffer from high blood pressure it may lead your blood pressure to climb and get uncontrolled.
It may even be harder to remove your wedding ring.
The opposite will happen when you come back home, if you watch it closely you will pee more in the three or four days after returning home, and you will lose that weight completely in a couple of days, no more than a week of time.
Don`t want this to happen ?
Then choose wisely, eat less bread and solid foods and go for fruit at the hotel, this one doesn't have added salt and you can eat fruit freely.
Do not be afraid of sugar, because the sugar in fruits is mixed with a large quantity of water and fibers, and it's fructose. So even for diabetic persons it's okay and recommended.
And I mean fruits, not soft drinks, which generally even don't contain any fruit just artificial flavoring and coloring.
