Does anyone ever lose weight on a cruise? The answer is, YES! This writer recently returned from a 21-day trip, touring the Balkans, with 12 days of it on a small ship (50 passengers) down the Adriatic Sea. This ship was not one of those mega floating weight-gain boats, but one that had your basic 3-meals-a-day (no snacks, unless you packed your own from home) and no fitness center--the ship was just too small. As this traveler has always done, on the first day of the trip, she wore a pair of jeans that fit just fine, then packed them away until five days before the trip ended. With the time span in between, when you try on an item of clothing at the end and it is snug, you know you have eaten too much and not exercised enough.
When I tried on those jeans toward the end of the trip, they fit just fine. After arriving back home, I stepped on the scales and, voila!--no weight gain. Indeed, there was a weight loss. Having been on only one other cruise (small ship, 500 pax) that lasted 2 weeks where I lost 4 pounds, I was hoping for another successful trip, and succeeded. Now, to be fair, part of the reason for no gain was the fact that we were walking and hiking anywhere from 4 to 6 hours or more a day. And, that exercise was on rough ground and often up inclines of 15% or more, including more than 100 steps.
What is the key to at least not gaining? The main one is that all that great looking (and tasting) food will keep repeating itself in its full abundance each day you are on the ship. After Day 2 or Day 3, you can quit stuffing yourself and settle back into normal portions. Do NOT go back to the buffet line, unless your first trip through is just to get a salad, and then you go back through again for the entree. If there are several desserts, pick ONE. If there are potatoes, take just half a portion. In fact, you can probably start halving the portions on Day 4, and never miss a thing. If the entrees include fish, choose that over the more calorie-laden red meats. As for bread? You don't need 3 rolls. Most people can actually stick to their healthy diet without feeling deprived, as the ships have such a variety of food to choose from at every meal. (Tip: If you can order oatmeal for breakfast, do so. It seems to stay with you much longer and you don't feel like you need to eat again just two hours later.)
If the cruise ship has a fitness facility, USE IT. And, participate in as many walking tours as you can fit in. A fat burning overview can help you produce a clear outline of what you need to focus on to carry out your fat burning objective if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an intermediate or more boost phase of their losing weight program. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as methods for your personal weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss applications have tricked people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by producing a person's body to lose more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. In short, keep moving. If your thing is reading a lot onboard, get up every 45-50 minutes or so and take a 10-15 minute walk. You will be glad you did.
