The question of choosing a place for a vacation is extremely relevant at the present time. But now it became known that those who have problems with being overweight should not go on vacation to Cyprus or to Turkey. After all, it's where vacationers pick up the most kilograms. Studies show that during a 10-day holiday in tourists average gain about 2 extra pounds in Cyprus, about 1.5 - in Turkey and about 1.3 kg in Portugal. The reason for this is an unhealthy diet, which includes a large number of shish kebabs and chips.
And many tourists note that it is very difficult to stop and give up a huge abundance of delicacies offered, which are already included in the cost of the voucher. In France, for example, note the high quality of food, so tourists are extremely difficult then to get used to home regular food. And half of vacationers admit that while on vacation, they use more alcohol than at home.
By the way, women are less susceptible to significant weight gain than men. So, they average gain about 700 grams, while men - 2.5 kilograms. Although every fifth vacationer lost weight on vacation. The reason for this was the hot weather, physical activity, as well as the desire to look good in a swimsuit. And most tourists lose weight in Ireland, Canada and Germany.
