opportunity to truly experience all of these countries at their best

On the way back from England to Australia just a few days ago, I got chatting to a lady who was returning from a 9-week cruise around the coasts of Europe. She'd intended to go for a 4-week trip, but was having such a great time that she decided to keep on going for another five weeks. This was her first trip on her own after a nasty divorce, and her kids were now old enough to not mind about her doubling the length of her trip of a lifetime. It sounded like the most amazing trip, and I eagerly acknowledged what a liberating experience it must also have been to do it alone. The conversation moved to what type of work we both did and, as I always find once I tell people what I do, we honed in on talking about weight loss. This lady told me that she had been taking Chinese herbs to stop her getting hungry, which worked a treat as she didn't carbohydrates or her favourite junk food. She then went on to say that she had travelled throughout Italy and hadn't touched pasta or pizza and in France, she had just said 'no' to the freshly baked baguettes. Countless times she had resisted the temptation to eat the country's delicacies by using her Chinese herbs to help her not eat give into eating pizza, baguettes and junk food. Before you start Googling where to get your Chinese herbs, let me complete the story. This lady was telling me all of this while munching away on a big bag of corn chips. I'm quite the chip connoisseur and, let me tell you, these corn chips were way extremely disappointing. They were a bit stale, bland and tasted more like cardboard. The lady admitted that the Chinese herbs had worn off now due to her extended trip, and she acknowledged that she was now sitting there eating junk food. In fact, she was going straight to a health resort when we landed so she could get herself back on track. However, I couldn't help but feel a bit sad. She had managed to go through all of Italy - the home of the best pasta and pizza in the world, and France - let's face it, no one can make fresh sticks of bread like the French - without sampling any of these countries most amazing food. She'd skipped pizza to avoid weight gain, but was now eating processed, tasteless corn chips instead. I couldn't help but reflect on a wasted opportunity to truly experience all of these countries at their best. For me, tasting and experimenting with new foods is part of the joy and excitement of travelling to new countries. I think it's such a shame when self-imposed dietary restrictions means you miss out on all the best bits - especially if something like corn chips ends up ruining your strict diet anyway. How to avoid holiday weight gain by still eating pizza Now, this isn't meant to be a direct criticism of this particular lady's approach to weight loss. I really wanted to share this story with you to encourage you to enjoy and experience new styles of food without having to put on weight, especially when you're on holiday. Having just spent nearly three weeks with my friends and family in the UK, I've just had to do exactly the same thing myself.
