Hi folks,
I hope you enjoyed the holidays with your dear ones, moments to cherish fully. I wish you the best for the years that come. May this year be filled with love, family, health and ofcourse physical activity!
I spent my holiday abroad. Francesco and I planned to go to his hometown Molfetta, in Southern Italy. I got in contact with his culture, his family, their habits, and their food. Food so delicious that I literally lost my character and determination to say no, once in a while. Do you want to know how this ended up? With a weight gain, of course.
A brief analysis of the aforementioned gain is reported below.
I address these 5 points as responsible of my weight gain. Of course, my determination to change my condition as soon as possible is back. Here is my plan for the next two weeks.
Feel free to adopt my strategy to improve your condition after holiday.
This will help us to find the normal weight again. A bit more motivation and dedication are needed especially at the beginning. Don't give up because it will worth! Just be patient for next 14 days.
In addition, here is a delicious, light and easy-to-make recipe that can contribute to your weight loss.
Time to make: 5 min preparation + 12 min boiling the wheat = 17 min
Ingredients:

Food so delicious that I literally lost my character and determination to say no, once in a while. Do you want to know how this ended up? With a weight gain, of course.
A brief analysis of the aforementioned gain is reported below.
- Eating more - caloric intake counting is math. No magics.
- Eating different types of food, more fried stuff, more cheese, pizza, pasta, etc.
- Skipping breakfast due to the fact that I had enough from the day before - which basically slows down one's metabolism
- Drink some more alcohol than I usually do (or well, don't)
- No gym at my disposal to burn some calories

Feel free to adopt my strategy to improve your condition after holiday.
- Drink a lot of cold water
- Eat 5 times a day (every 2 -3 hours), of course in smaller amounts
- Eat carbs only for breakfast and lunch
- Prepare healthy juices and smoothies with no added sugar
- Eat more proteins
- Avoid snacks such as chocolate, candies, ice cream, cookies and the like
- Hit the gym 4-5 times a week to perform some interval as cardio and weight lifting in order to sculpt the body
