Ep 57: Holiday Without the Weight Gain: My 8 Holiday Strategies

Have you ever come home from holiday feeling like you've undone months of good work in a few days? I recently spent a week in Taupō with nine family members, aged 11 to 85, for my sister's 50th. My goal wasn't weight loss. It was simply to come home the same weight – and I did, without separate meals or missing out on the fun. In this episode, I share the exact holiday eating strategies I use to maintain my weight while travelling. After 25 years of low carb eating and weight maintenance, I've learned that holidays are the perfect place to prove you can keep your results for life. If you're a woman over 40 who wants a sustainable way to stop holiday weight gain, keep your blood sugar stable and stay on track without dieting, this one's for you. What You'll Learn  Why strict diets fall apart on holiday, and why low carb eating travels so well  How to set a maintenance goal before you go  The breakfast strategy that sets up every holiday day for success  My go-to emergency protein snack, and why it lives in my handbag  How putting protein first keeps cravings and blood sugar in check  How to make pre-dinner nibbles work for you in a group  Why skipping grazing matters more than any single meal  Simple ways to handle comments about what you're eating  Why a drinks plan and a "first meal home" plan protect your momentum Your One Action to Start Now Got a trip coming up? Grab a piece of paper and write down three things: your goal for the holiday, what you'll eat for breakfast, and your emergency backup snack. Stick it somewhere you'll see it. That one bit of planning could make this your most successful holiday yet.
