Avoiding Vacation Weight Gain

Newswise — Going out of town? Don't take a vacation from your healthy habits, says Katie Eliot, an instructor of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University. By over-indulging in fast food and tropical drinks you can easily put on a couple of pounds in one week that will be difficult to get off once you get home. Eliot is available to talk about the common mistakes people make on vacation including drinking too many calories and overindulging in restaurant meals, as well as tips for healthy eating as you travel.
