Every time you go away on vacation, I know what you’re thinking: “There goes my diet!” It’s a pretty easy assumption to believe that all of the food you’re planning to consume while away is going to pack on the pounds.

 

That was certainly my biggest worry when I recently spent two weeks in Spain and Italy (two countries known for their love of meat, bread and grains). But despite me not eating particularly healthy while I was gone, I still managed to lose weight! Here are the five surprising tricks I learned for losing weight while on vacation.

1. Share your meals

Every single time I sat down to eat, I made sure to split everything we were having. This way, I reasoned, the two of us would get to try more food. Typically, this meant splitting an appetizer, entree and dessert during both lunch and dinner. In the end, despite the three courses twice a day, I ultimately ate less calories overall.
