Coming Back From Vacation Without Gaining Weight

By -


If you're on a diet and heading off on vacation, here are some ways to enjoy yourself without gaining weight:




Pack for the plane. Most airline meals and snack boxes have more than 500 calories!  Pack your own snacks or shop the airport for healthier choices. My favorite travel snack is beef jerky and an apple.  Jerky is low in calories and fat and the fruit is high in fiber—together they’ll keep you full for hours.

Don't clean your plate. 

Restaurant portions can be 2–3 times bigger than what you eat at home.  Go ahead and indulge on delicious food, just not so much that you end up gaining weight. A great way to control portions is to share an order. Split an oversized entrée and have a side salad, for example. Eat half a sandwich and share or save the rest.  At a buffet take tasting-size portions of anything high in calories.

Stock your hotel room. 

Request a refrigerator for your hotel room so you can store healthy snacks, such as low-fat yogurt, cheese, low-fat milk, smoothies, fruit and vegetables. If you don't have a refrigerator, good nonperishable choices include nuts, seeds, high-fiber cereal and crackers, peanut butter, popcorn, and single-serving containers of fruit.

Drink smart.  

There's no reason to abstain from alcohol just because you are on a diet. The secret is to steer clear of calorie-laden drinks like a piña colada that packs 450 calories and 18 grams of fat—and that's for just one! Instead, opt for a waist-friendly cocktail, such as Bacardi rum with a splash of pineapple juice that has only 100 calories.

Any treat in moderation. 

 Vacation isn't much fun if you feel deprived. Treats are fine in moderation, like having a refreshing scoop of ice cream rather than a calorie-packed sundae.  Desserts run about 50–150 calories per bite, so keep to three bites and even a decadent one won't blow your diet.

Vaginal Bleeding

By -
Most women of child-bearing age experience normal vaginal bleeding associated with their menstrual cycle. However, women of all ages can experience abnormal vaginal bleeding, including spotting between periods caused by reproductive system problems, underlying medical problems or because of certain medications. To be considered abnormal, the vaginal bleeding occurs outside of a normal menstruation guideline. This can mean that the flow during the period is excessively heavy or there is spotting between periods. Abnormal vaginal bleeding or spotting can also occur in very young girls before they’ve entered menstruation (menarche) and it can also occur after menopause. (1) Irregular menstrual bleeding may be a sign of a potentially serious medical condition. If you experience vaginal bleeding that is outside of your normal cycle, please check with your physician as soon as possible, especially if you are pregnant.
