    Regarding vacations ... overeating is not the issue for me. Nor are desserts as I rarely eat them. The problem is the high calories of most restaurant food compared to what I make at home. I don't eat at chains very often but there is one decent one that I do sometimes go to. They offer nutritional information on their web site. It's truly shocking to me how caloric some items are ... as much as 2000 for an entree. They must use a lot of fat/oil. I eat in the range of 1200-1400 per day currently though it'll be higher during vacation. Regardless, 2000 for one meal isn't practical.

    Also, this particular trip we're taking is specifically to eat at our favorite restaurant ever for all three nights so the food is the primary component. I know not everyone understands that but excellent food is important to me and my partner. Especially when traveling internationally.

    I'm sorry some of you don't take actual vacations. When I still worked I lived for them along with the holiday weekends. I was on call for the majority of my working years so I valued my time off. Although when I think back I don't think I took many when I was young. I still took time off but it was mostly staycation style.

    @mikeandbethwilliams - welcome to the group. Don’t stress about this. Start slow. Give yourself grace. If you fail one day, you come back the next. Consistency is the key, not perfection.

    @crusherbrickman - I was intermittent fasting for a while, but was also in ketosis during that whole period. It started on accident, I simply wasn't hungry after 2 or 3 in the afternoon and wouldn't eat until about 10 or 11am. Then it became a goal to do it regularly.

    I eventually felt I needed more calories daily so I stopped. My body just felt like it needed more, even though I wasn't hungry.

    I simply ate smaller meals spread out through the day to break IF. Keep in mind that I was in ketosis both before and after intermittent fasting so my experience may have been wildly easier/different than someone trying to stop IF when not in ketosis. There really is no gain by doing IF while on a keto diet, I was simply doing it because I didn't feel hungry and fell naturally into IF.

    Just saying I understand that feeling of trying to cram calories down. Not sure if any extra info is helpful, but just in case, that's my IF experience.

    I know reading about folks who were maintaining (when I actually really thought it was impossible) really helped me recognize that maybe just maybe it WAS possible.

    And it is! We have so many more tools at our disposal & supportive groups like ours. Makes all the difference!

    Walking for exercise and the walking the dog at the park

    Good discussion as vacation/travel is always a challenge for me. I did not gain weight on my most recent vacation which is a step in the right direction for me. I remember coming across someone saying to eat two healthy meals and allow yourself a splurge on the third meal (within a day). I thought this sounded pretty good to me and I more or less kept with that. And I stayed pretty active. In regard to restaurant meals, my husband and I are pretty good at splitting meals. And we only seem to eat out when traveling. We allow ourselves to order what appeals to us (appetizer, salad, soup, entree) but split it. This works well. We feel spoiled without being completely stuffed. My other area of weakness would be when I return home. I don't know why but I almost seem to crave more junk food at home then I do traveling. I allow myself three transition days to getting back on track. I have learned to work with this and scale down over the three day period.

    @znaoiec this is good stuff as well! Thanks for sharing your tips and ideas! :)
