The question of choosing a place to spend a vacation is extremely relevant at the present time. But now it has become known that those who have problems with excess weight should not go on vacation to Cyprus or Turkey. After all, it is there that vacationers gain the most kilograms. Research shows that during a 10-day vacation, tourists gain an average of about 2 extra kilograms in Cyprus, about 1.5 in Turkey and about 1.3 kilograms in Portugal. The reason for this is an unhealthy diet, which includes a large amount of shashlik and chips.
Moreover, many tourists note that it is very difficult to stop and refuse the huge abundance of delicacies offered, which are already included in the cost of the trip. In France, for example, they note the high quality of food, so it is extremely difficult for tourists to get used to ordinary home food. Moreover, half of the vacationers admit that while on vacation, they drink more alcohol than at home.
By the way, women are less prone to significant weight gain than men. On average, they gain about 700 grams, while men gain 2.5 kilograms. Although every fifth vacationer lost weight during their vacation. The reason for this was the hot weather, physical activity, and the desire to look good in a swimsuit. Moreover, the largest number of tourists lose weight in Ireland, Canada, and Germany.
