How I lose fat while traveling (without skipping dessert) 👇🏽

This is the only travel health guide you’ll ever need to avoid the “passport pounds”—no calorie counting, no guilt-tripping, just KNOWING YOUR PHYSIOLOGY 💪🏽

🚶🏽‍♂️Walk EVEYWHERE

If it’s under 2 miles, don’t Uber—walk.
Low-intensity movement boosts fat metabolism, regulates blood sugar, and improves insulin sensitivity without increasing appetite.

Bonus: You’ll see more of the city, stumble on hidden gems, and rack up ~15k steps/day effortlessly.

💧Drink 100oz of water daily

Dehydration mimics hunger (same area of the brain = mixed signals). Often overlooked because on vacation, typically you’ll limit water consumption to restaurants, which isn’t enough.

Staying hydrated curbs unnecessary snacking, supports mitochondrial function, and keeps you energized through all those extra steps.

👊🏽 Eat a fist of protein at EVERY meal

Protein has the highest thermic effect (you burn 20-30% of the calories from protein DIGESTING it) and keeps you full longer. 

In Italy? Load your pizza with meat. In Spain? Start with jamón. Prioritize protein BEFORE carbs.

😄 Don’t skip dessert—just eat it after something salty and savory!

Protein and fat before sugar slows digestion, flattens glucose spikes, and minimizes fat storage. More energy, better mood, fewer cravings.

I’m Andrés—exercise physiologist and neuroscientist—and I make science-based content on how to live healthier without losing your joy 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
