When I did my big trip to Australia, I spent five weeks with friends in Perth and I gained 10lbs. It wasn’t the food but the alcohol that did for me as on the days that my friends were at work I didn’t eat all day or just had a slice of toast or some fruit. The following three weeks when travelling on the Indian Pacific and in Adelaide I didn’t gain an ounce and still ate out, had wine, G&Ts, celebrated my birthday etc. I did keep up the exercise which helped.
The thought of losing weight while you are away is not worth the effort, think maintenance. The priority is enjoying yourself and making the trip worth the huge effort you’ve put into planning it.
I have such a huge list of places I want to visit and travelling grows the list rather than shrinking it!
