Hello, has anyone been to America. I am going for 10 nights and want to have a good time so no calorie counting.
Has anyone else been and just had what they want when they want and if so, how much weight did you put on?
Many thanks

LOL. You need to specify which part of America you're headed to. Vegas, New York City, San Francisco? Some of the counties here in Texas are bigger than all of Scotland.0

This won't end well.
I guess it will turn into an "North Americans are fat" thread. Just dumb.
Pass the biscuits and sausage gravy please and hand me another chicken drumstick. Nom nom nom.0 -

North Americans ARE FAT. Were'n't we ranked the fattest country in the world? We're getting a handle on it.
It is a very odd thread though. I don't get the point of it.0 -
Been in the US my whole life (with the exception of a couple weeks as a teen). What part are you headed to?0

as one poster said, it will depend on where you are visiting. North or South? Canada, US, Islands? Region dishes vary considerably, but 99% of the restaurants will offer something healthy. Hope you have a great trip!0

Nope, most Canadians are actually ok... Mexicans too....0 -
Um Just because you go to a new place doesnt mean you have to eat outside calorie range there are plenty of healthy options in Merica0

Canada is now in America? Do they know this because last I heard many of them aren't fans of Americans.0 -

There's 36 countries in the Americas... Where are you going? The local cuisine varies quite a bit.0 -
Not sure if serious? No matter where you go on vacation, there is a potential to gain weight, just as there is as much potential to eat healthy foods, if that's what you choose to do.0 -
I go all the time. It's not like you cross the border and they greet you with a tub of ice cream, donuts and burgers as a welcome (though I'd be into that). There's healthy options everywhere.
Though, I did spend a month in Chicago and gained 10 pounds. Delicious delicious food Chicago, well done.0 -

Canada has always been in America.... America =\= US. Geography 101!0 -

This is getting comic. I guess we need to know if she meant North America or South America.0 -

I think what they meant was North America and Canada is part of North America. For that matter, the name of our country is the United States OF America, not just "America". But whatever.0 -
There are many American's on this site..... so yes, lots of people to talk to. I'm guessing you are speaking of USA??
However, as Waffle said - WHERE in America will you be visiting? Food is vastly different dependin on what part of the country you are in.0 -

:noway:
Would you believe that even Brazil is in an America? Mind blown yet?
As for the question (assuming it is the US you are speaking of), most places (especially if you are in a large touristy area) have very large and diverse grocery stores. It is very easy to pick up a ton of fruits, veggies and other healthy stuff - or unhealthy stuff.
If you want to go out and taste the cuisine of the area, just keep health and calories in mind. I should hope that you don't have to track calories every day for the rest of your life. Just be conscious of what you are eating and opt for the best options. Just be aware, most restaurants will use a ton of butter/salt/oils/sauces. But, most will also customize what you want. You can ask the server for no butter, sauce on the side, whatever you wish
Also, I would definatly stay away from chain restaurants, you will be highly disapointed. Check out the locally owned places.0 -
I agree, tell us where you're going first.
But you know, you can find a lot of healthy options pretty much anywhere.
Unless you're going to a carnival or something.0 -
OP isn't saying Americans are fat. Easy people! She's going on vacation & doesn't want to hassle with the worry. - That's what I read.
Having said that - where are you heading? I'm in Ohio and btw am going to the UK in May & have the exact same concerns. I don't want to lose control while on vacation but don't want to calorie count everything either.
Any city you head to will have healthful food options. If you're int he sticks - good luck honey! :flowerforyou:0 -
1. America is a continent
2. Mexico has an obesity problem almost as bad as the U.S.0 -
"This won't end well.

Oh I don't think so. I went to San Francisco, and my experience has been very nice. Every one of my friends were conscious people, moved A LOT, used very healthy options majority of the time. Some diners may serve big portions but that's not a sentence to finish the plate.
I am an overweight person ( 1.70 and about 80 kilos), and I didn't return with an obese figure after almost 4 months. I may have returned with something like 5 pounds, if that. It really depends on what kind of eating habits one has. The only thing I noticed that got worse for me was acne, but not excess calories.
It depends on where in America, but as long as one stays away from over the top desserts, candy and other snacks, it could be just fine.0 -

Canada is absolutely a part of the continent of North America.0 -

As you clearly see here not all Americans are "friendly" but "whatever".0 -
Today I learned that Canada is no longer part of North America.0
