I just got back from 3 weeks in Asia. I ate everything I could get my chopsticks around! Still down 10 lbs.
And I got my workouts in! Strength held level, which is all I hope for when traveling. Most of the loss is fat/water.
More passive cardio (walking), and lower glycemic index (sugar vs HFCS).

@mekkaokereke every time I leave North America, I drop weight. Utterly consistent.
The fastest way to lose 15 pounds is a week in France, eating like a shopvac.

@glassblowerscat @mwl @mekkaokereke i love europe for that, you just cannot beat a walkable city

@mwl @mekkaokereke And walking! European cities are generally quite walkable, and all that walking adds up.

As a french living in Canada i can confirm. It took me a couple of years to adapt to NA "food style". We (french / european) usually find food serving too big and food being sweeter and fatter. Of course not everybody eat too much fat / sweet here.
But I guess if you sum those 3, you probably get a bit less calories than usual. Consequently your body take from its reserves to get what's missing

I do an hour of martial arts practice every day. Strikes, falls, etc. Some days, I also go to class.
In Europe I'm lazy.

@mwl @mekkaokereke "Going abroad" is the easiest way to get an American to exercise.
Our first day in CDMX we walked 12 miles, but there was so much cool stuff to see we barely noticed (also, cerveza and carne asada).
