Hello. I am fit but enjoy the occassional big weekend. Question: Hypothetically, if I spend 3 days in New Orleans eating and drinking with no discipline, how long does it take for the bad to settle in as fat/weight gain? Can it be undone Monday morning with a solid HIIT session? I do try not to put too many of the “binge” weekends together, but I’ve often wondered how much of a set back is it?

    I can undo an hour at the gym in about 5 minutes at the dinner table. New Orleans? C'mon. You been up all night?

    3500 calories in a pound. Do the math.

    Ive just done a weekend away, 3night break. Didn't count calories, had a sensible breakfast but what I wanted for lunch and dinner, and some alcohol. Did a lot of walking though, around 10miles per day.
    Came home just under half a pound heavier.
    So depends on how crazy you go, I had a couple of drinks and dessert each night with my dinner, but eggs for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch.
