Review: Lose 15 + Kg Weight Within 6 Months Unstressed 💕✌🏻

To lose weight in one month, decrease how many calories you eat every day by 500 so you lose 1 to 2 pounds a week at a healthy pace. Eat nutrient-dense foods that are low in calories, like lean meat, eggs, legumes, and leafy greens. Cut out unhealthy, sugary foods like soda, candy, and sweets, and try to drink 8 glasses of water every day.

In my case, it was over 35 pounds in the space of a few weeks, and I didn’t even notice.

I wouldn’t have noticed at all, if it weren’t for the scale at one of my house sits in Brussels, Belgium. I’d recently grabbed new clothes; smaller ones, but I didn’t know this as I went from North American sizing to European sizing. I just assumed it was the same, that I’d stretched out some of my pants through constant wear, and continued forward with my travels.

I couldn’t deny it though when I got back to Brussels. When I’d left a month earlier, almost to the day, I was 35 pounds heavier. How on earth did this happen?!

Piyo Results: It's Never Too Late To Lose Weight

I sat and thought about it for a few days. I reviewed my eating habits, my exercise routine, my day-to-day activities. I talked to a few friends I’d met on the road.

One American in Paris told me he thought he’d have abs for the first time in his life after moving for school. Yet, both our diets were more luscious, decadent, and definitely higher calorie than anything either of us ate at home. I’d gotten into the habit of getting a fresh pain au chocolat from a random viennoiserie every morning as my breakfast, after not one, but two Frenchmen delighted me with this practice at different times in the month. They were both very, very skinny.

Yes, they were rich: cheese and wine before or after dinner, croissant for breakfast,  usually a French-style hamburger (very different than back home!) for lunch.

Health At Any Size? Dieting Doesn't Work, So Replace It With This New Technique

They also took much longer than in Canada; a lunch meal with the aforementioned American in Paris took us over two hours to complete, and a dinner date went well into the four-hour range. I didn’t notice the lackadaisical attitudes towards time and food – if anything, it showed me that I needed to eat the best, enjoy the best, and share it with the best. So I did.

Plus, if I ate any sort of grain, it was usually in the morning and by itself. I easily had four hours between meals.

When I look at my exercise habits while in France, they also explain a lot as to how I was able to lose weight while traveling.

Is It Safe To Lose 10 Pounds In 1 Week?

While I never “went to workout” during my travels, I did walk a ridiculous amount. 10 kilometers was a low day for me, and a lot of it was via stairs. In fact, every single house sit and AirBnB that I stayed in had stairs. The American in Paris had seven flights to get to his apartment. I, five. Elevators were rare, and if you did use them (such as the one at Montmartre) you were immediately labeled as a tourist.

Mind you, most people assumed I was a tourist just due to my size; I never once saw a French person anywhere near my weight and height, and had men constantly talking to me about it (in a good way – that’s another blog post though).

I lost 35 pounds in a month while roaming through France because I ate really, really well, and moved my body a tremendous amount.

How To Lose Weight Quickly Before Vacation And Keep It Off

I walk everywhere while traveling. I prefer it. While tourists are busy on buses, taxis, scooters and car rentals, I’m happily living like a local and hoofing it.

Plus, it’s cheaper. As well, I see more of the culture, country and surroundings walking than I do taking other means of transport.

I love the ‘free’ walking tours in most first and second world countries. Have you come across them? You take the tour, and pay at the end whatever you think it was worth to you.

My Vacation Weight Gain + 3 Day Reset

They’re cool and all. I’ll take one in a pinch on Day One, or Day Two of my time in a city.

After that? I’m making my own. I’ve done a ‘Tea Tour’ of Paris, a ‘Chinatown Tour’ of New York City, another ‘Tea Tour’ in Vancouver… wait… I see a trend here…

I love tea. Walking invigorates me. Travel is my drug. Compile that all together with some weight loss, and Miss Bonny is a happy camper.

I Gained Weight On Vacation

Honestly? I’m not a fan of stairs. So if you want to lose weight while traveling, pick a city, country, area, where there are no elevators.

Speaking of short bursts? Check out the book 4-Minute Fit, a program created for truck drivers that sit the majority of their work day. It works, and I understand why now, after losing weight while traveling: short bursts of high energy movement beat slow and steady.

Not surprisingly, when I was in Europe and lost 35 pounds in a month, I ate a lot of unprocessed food. The wheat / carbs / sugars I did eat? They weren’t frankenwheat, treated in all sorts of ways, or somehow altered for easier crop growth. Want more along these lines? Read up about this concept in the books Grain Brain and Wheat Belly.

Another gent introduced me to cheese. Raw cheese. Stinky cheese. Cheese with oodles of bacteria in it to reprogram my gut for weight loss.

Okay, so that’s well beyond the scope of this blog post. I’ll let the experts explain it. Nutshell? Your gut health affects your brain health and your weight. Much more than we thought, and so much so that folks are getting… wait for it.. fecal transplants. To lose weight.

When I took the challenge to get healthy and lose all of my excess weight for good, I immediately stripped out all foods that had a label on them.

How To Lose 30 Pounds In A Month: 7 Expert Tips For Weight Loss

The difference in my face in a week stunned me, and just reinforced how and why I lost so much, so fast. Don’t believe me? Look at the first photo in this blog post – that was a WEEK’s difference.

I’m not much of an alcohol drinker. Well, except for that time in the Bahamas after Hurricane Matthew, where alcohol was pretty much all we had left.

Point is: I don’t drink a lot of booze. Sugary drinks aren’t my thing, either. So neither of these were factors in my weight loss while traveling.

The Best Weight Loss Advice I Received Was From My 13 Year Old Daughter

I did, however, drink a lot more water than normal. Although I didn’t take pictures, while I was in Aberdeen, Scotland, I drank three liters of water a day. In a month of that practice my face looked airbrushed, and I never wore makeup. A Cosmo writer had a
