Can you take off of multiple days exercise without gaining weight?

Hi guys,

So, I'm currently on vacation with my family (who are maniacs and are up and away at 6am) and I'm unable to find time to exercise in the morning and too tired to exercise at night.. I'm still sticking to my diet and walking around every day, but I'm not necessarily doing HIIT or any cardio for my usual 30 minutes...

    Yes. Just make sure you eat fewer Calories than your maintenance level.

    Oh, and enjoy your vacation and don't worry if you end up a couple of pounds heavier at the end. Assuming you're not preparing (all) your food yourself, you'll probably end up with some water retention due to sodium and/or carb content of the food you eat.

    You should be fine! Enjoy the vacation and if your still eating well all of the walking will pay off

    How much weight you lose/gain is based on how many calories you eat, not on how many days you exercise. I often exercise only 2x/week and its never stopped me from losing weight.

    If you're up and away at 6am and doing all that walking around you will be burning more calories than if you work out hard for 30 minutes then sit around the rest of the day.

    Don't worry about "exercise". Just be active and have fun!

    Unless you rely solely on exercise for a deficit and can't eat at maintenance or below without it, you shouldn't gain weight.
