So we spent Thanksgiving in Spain this year and it has been an eye opening experience for me as far as weight loss is concerned. With all the museums and chapels I was logging around 10 miles a day for at least 10 days. I was absolutely not watching calories, not getting enough rest since there was so much to see and explore. We are back home and today when I weighed myself I was 2 lbs down from 157lbs. I had plateaued for approx 4 months and no amount of exercise, diet was helping. I am currently doing Intermittent Fasting, I run once a week, I try to watch my portions, I avoid pizza/pasta/desserts but NADA.
What I believe truly helped me was being in a happy state of mind, portion control (small meal sizes compared to the US) and ALL THE WALKING. Losing 2 lbs over 100 miles is not an achievement at all. But it made me realize that losing weight and maintaining it is not hard if you have a healthy life-style. I noticed that the portion sizes in Europe are much smaller than the US, there aren't a myriad of "targets", "Walmarts", "7-Elevens", etc., people walk everywhere etc.
