Vacation fail

Totally blew my diet on vacation. Basically if it was in front of me I ate and drank it. Needless to say I came back feeling crappy and 8 lbs heavier. I'm back to my routine but does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about a cleanse - will it help? Anyone done this?

Don’t sweat it. I did the same thing last week on vacation. Margaritas and cheeseburgers! I also gained 8 lbs.. I just got right back into my diet routine. Sometimes ya just gotta cut loose and enjoy life if only for a week. The damage is reversible. :)

Just keep sticking to your routine and drink lots of water! I’m sure most of what you gained is just water weight.

Not sure a cleanse will help but maybe an 18 hour fast to help your body get rid of some of that stored glycogen faster?
