My last 7 day cruise I went on, I got up, put in 30 of exercise, ate whatever I wanted, drank even more and gained 8lbs. That would be 8lbs of water. When I weighed in 4 days after getting home and being back on my normal diet and exercise routine that 8lbs was gone.

Lots of vegetables and legumes and grilled meats in many countries/regions. Or if they're from Spain, that's awesome too because Mediterranean food is also heavy on the fresh produce, fish, and simple preparations. I never ate so well and so reasonably in my life as when I lived in Spain.

It's actually very easy to undo one month of progress by 'eating all the foodz' (well, especially if you drink too). OP, just be mindful of your choices... eat a lot of veggies, only have a bit of the calorie-dense stuff, try to stay active.

Yeah he said they always ate relatively healthy growing up so I dont think it'll be super unhealthy foods, like nothing fried or anything like that.
