holidays and food

hi all

I am off to france tomorrow- camping for a week - no laptop/phone to get on MFP.
I'm planning on walking and swimming lots while we are there so thats my exercise sorted

But what should I eat?
Due to a health condition I can't eat fruit or vegetables........

last time we went abroad I survived on chips & ice-cream and put on 14lb in 2 weeks......

I am so close to my target - please somebody stop me pigging out!

What good choices would you make in France?

Thanks in advance.

When in Rome (or in this case, France) do as the Romans do! Eat french food!! Don't eat chips and ice cream and crap, you can get that at home!!

Don't make food the focus of your vacation. If you are camping, are you going to be making your own food or eating at restaurants?

bit of both really - have cereals for breakfast - noodles for lunch - and may eat out for dinner......

besides the usual frogslegs & snails, cheeses & baguettes - what do french food places serve? (besides fruit & veg). i don't want to go down the fast food route like i did last time LOL

Enjoy yourself and don't really focus on what you eat, just do moderation and with your exercise you'll be good---that's a promise.:} Hae fun!!!

just reporting back - with a 2lb gain this week. I have to say though there is no way i ate 7000 extra calories

survived on baguettes, noodles, cereal, & the delights of french cake shops!

made sure i did at least 1 hour exercise every day - now to get the 5lb off so i get to target!
