The Seafood Diet…..You see food and eat it!!

It’s Easter time again and it’s the time of Chocolate!! The endless amount of Easter eggs, Easter themed cakes and sweets over the last few days!! The thing about the holidays such as Easter and Christmas is the fact that they are only a couple of days long so we eat a lot for a few days and then we can return to our routines to try and get those extra pounds back off.

Can you stop yourself from overeating?

However, we as Cruisers know…Cruises are usually longer than a couple of days and there is so much choice on a Cruise that we just can’t help ourselves. I think if I went on a World Cruise, they’d have to wheel me off at the end off the Cruise.

The Buffet on MSC!

I went on an 18 Night Cruise last year and had 10 days at sea, I definitely came back heavier than when I left but the food was amazing!! Whether I was in the Main Dining Room trying something new every day and having 3 courses. Or eating in the Windjammer Buffet Restaurant, where they have British favourites and new world dishes you want to try. Then you have the Dessert area……and being a sweet person myself…this is my favourite part.

What’s your favourite Dessert?

My favourite Dessert is a nice slice of Cheesecake.

I am just glad there was a gym on-board, they also did great classes through the day. The gym was always very busy though….everyone had the same thought as me!! A great extra that many ships offer is the running track which is usually on the top deck that is the full length of the ship. There were always people either taking a stroll around the ship or full on running. I was more of a jogger myself.

Another thing to consider is how much you drink on a cruise, especially if you drink alcohol and you have a drinks package included. So on my Cruise’s this year I’ll be sticking to Vodka & Soda or Gin & Tonic!! Then I can still have dessert every day and not feel as bad when I get home.

Do you go overboard with your drinks?

However, even though a lot Cruisers feel this way and have to think about watching what they eat on their Cruise, a Diet Expert Proves that Cruising is Perfect for Losing Weight….Click here to read the article!!
