Weight Loss while Traveling

Biggest Loser tip:

With Spring Break coming up for our kids families are planning trips and outings.... Try to stick to your weight loss plan but also allow yourself some wriggle room. Here's what our Biggest Loser Club experts have to say on the topic.

Fitness Expert Michael Scholtz: My view is that if you travel ALL the time, then you need to find a way to fit your normal routine into your travel. But, if you only travel once in a while, then it's not going to make or break your lifestyle. Trips to Disney, Europe, Vegas, etc., don't come along that often. Therefore, the best plan is to make some decent choices, don't go overboard, and don't worry about being "on program." It's not an excuse. It's just being realistic. You go there to have fun for a few short days. So make the trip itself very active and don't worry about getting to a gym!

Nutrition Expert Greg Hottinger: When eating out, I suggest that you order off the menu (no buffets) when possible and consider packing some snacks in your luggage that you can eat 30 minutes before heading out such as energy bars, nuts (bring small ziploc baggies for portion control), apples or low-fat granola bars
