In 2008, after struggling with my weight for most of my life, I finally found something that worked for me and lost 70 pounds. Since maintaining weight loss can be just as hard, if not harder, than losing it, I have developed my own strategies to keep it off and still enjoy my cruise. And trust me, I am not one for deprivation and definitely love my food and drink.
Food is everywhere on a cruise, it’s unlimited, it’s free, and you are encouraged to overindulge so it’s not that surprising that the average cruiser gains about 8 pounds on a week-long cruise. That’s as much as the average adult gains over the entire course of the holiday season.
So, how can you avoid gaining weight on your cruise or at least minimize the damage?
