Yes! You’ve basically reaffirmed my vacation strategy. I recently spent a week in Europe. All the walking plus none of the snacking meant no change on the scale when I got home, and I didn’t pass up a single glass of champagne. Cheers!
Your channel has truly been a blessing to me. I’ve been yoyo dieting for years now and your truly has been a revelation to me when I eat more than I should to just get back on track instead of feeling guilty and and saying ‘f*ck it’
Going to Vegas for my honeymoon for about 4 days and needed this video. Lots of walking opportunities there, enjoy some guilt free food and I’ll have some drinks ❤❤❤
This video was great. And you posted it at the best time my wife and I just got back from vacation with a 7-9lb weight gain, but we did exactly what you said, just went back into the routine and back into the gym with positive results physically and more importantly meantally!! Thank you for the great content and the videos!!
👋🏼 from Canada 😊. You are a game changer. Thank you for being so realistic. I see that many of us (including myself) are healing from diet culture which did more mental harm than good. Looking forward to taking my first vacation in years and this is the video I needed to watch. You are amazing!!
As I live in Europe and am headed to the states for my holiday, I''m looking forward to enjoying a whole bunch of "linty sweaty snacks" while I'm there 🤣
I watched this video last night before bed and then I knew I had to respond first thing this morning. We went on a cruise last month and I didn't worry about any of the foods we ate. I ate without guilt, for the first time ever, and when we got home, I weighed the same. I was so excited to see the number on the scale and I want to thank you for that. For years you have talked about going on a vacation and just enjoying ourselves and it worked.
Jordan- I am HUGE fan of yours!! I have struggled all my life with weight! Listening and putting in practice what you preach is a game changer for the mental game during my weight loss journey! We are going on vacation soon and this video and your suggestions are going to be used while I am on vacation! One more thing I may add during vacation is enjoy everything in moderation but also include veggies and drink lots of water! Thanks Jordan! D
Definitely needed this 🥹 At the beginning of the year, I decided to plan a trip back home to NYC but I wasn't happy with my look. So I went to work.. I fly out next Friday and thankfully lost 43 lbs since January 8th (Intermittent fasting and 3 miles a day). I've been stressing how badly it will hit my progress but this video gave me the confidence to live in the moment. Now? I'm making a list of food spots 😂😂 ONLY IN NYC! lol cheers brother!
So glad I found this channel. I have been watching multiple episodes a day lately. I am ready to start tomorrow on my calendar checklist with ❌⚫️ for 90 days.
I just love your realness ! And my husband is from Italy so we have been several times with our kiddos and you can’t not eat the gelato! The best thing about Europe is food is made so much better because they use fresh, whole food ingredients.
I'm getting ready to go on a month-long trip with very minimal opportunities to exercise (I'll be with my 80 yr old mom whom I never get to see, and she has very limited mobility). This could not have come at a better time!! Thank you so much. I'm going to go into it with a healthy mindset. I will not be able to walk a ton but I will still do what I can. Most importantly, I'll enjoy my mom!! I loved hearing about your trip to Israel and seeing some of the food.
Thank you! I love that you start and end by enforcing that vacation is not the time to lose weight! Healthy habits are great to continue throughout travel but we have to live a little too! I can’t imagine going to Italy and bringing turkey jerky or something to eat while others eat Gelato!
I love this! I'm going to Thailand with a Thai friend and she's got a list of food for me to eat going lol. I have a friend who's way too rigid with his diet (which makes him super miserable) and he took a trip to Japan and ate whatever, so I thought he was finally in a better place. He came back and immediately threw himself back into a super strict diet with no cheat meals. I went to hang out with him to hear about his trip, but he was super strict about where we could hang out because he couldn't have any cheat meals or snacks. It was so disappointing!!! Like, just slowly get back to your grind instead of just throwing yourself back into something that makes you miserable!!
Than you Jordan! I made so many mistakes going on past vacations. Either I would just not be able to relax and not really enjoy the vacation or I just would eat everything even foods I didn’t care for cause I thought well I am never going to have this again. Love the balance you bring.
Thank you so much for this video! This is helping me not feel bad about the weight I've put on while getting our new house move in ready. We're all excited to move and be done soon so we can stop getting takeout so often. At the same time, we've enjoyed the time we've been spending together working on the house. We're in the home stretch! Pun intended!
You are so amazing, Jordan! THANK YOU for everything you do. You are loved and appreciated by SO many people across the globe & it's incredible to see!!!!
Great video! I needed to hear this before going on my trip! I have a history of worrying too much about gaining weight during vacation and forget to enjoy the trip. Thank you 🙏
Cannot stress enough just how much all of your knowledge and advice has helped me over the years since I stumbled upon you. More importantly than the physical advice has been all of the information that has slowly reshaped the way I think about food, nutrition, health, etc. Looking forward to seeing more videos and seeing you and your family continue to thrive. ❤
What I love about watching your videos you make it seem so easy. You get straight too the point. Maybe it's not as hard as I think it is too lose fat build muscle. There's so much misleading information out there. Keep up the great work. I did signed up for your email list
Hi Jordan I am a newbie to watching your videos you have inspired me to get to this losing weight love this video and you have made me feel better about a holiday. I am 67 and started my weight loss program in Sept and weight is coming off slow but its comin off .I feel the best I have for a long time . Thank uou for all your help . Can't seem to find out how to sign into your e mail but then me and technology is rubbish . I will plough through all your videos and learn more thank you x
3:24 pm thanks for sharing . Vacation time is supposed to be relaxing and too often I hear people say … wow I need a vacation after my vacation… why do we do this ? Great content.
We just got back from a week long vacay and we both gained about 5 pounds- I was proud of myself for just saying “oh well- the soft pretzels and beer cheese were worth it”😅
Hey @Jordan Syatt, Can you please make a video on making the lower back more flexible? Please! 🙏🙏🙏 I got an injury on my lower back while deadlifting as a newbie. I cannot bend more than ~45 degrees if I keep my back straight (hamstrings). Need a way to make my back flexible again. I loved your deadlift video! Only you can teach this I feel. Please! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm travelling to Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore over the Christmas holidays and honestly, I'm nervous. To be without a gym for that whole time (I strength train 4 days a week) AND all the delicious food... I'm worried about what it's going to do to my physique goals (lose fat, gain muscle has been the last year!). I wish this video had calmed me down, but if I gain weight on holiday, I WILL care :(
sorry to say you comprehend zero laterally food not about gaining or losing wait only but the quality of food makes the difference in your long-term health
Look I get it - you don't want for us to have bad relationship with food but... After my 2 weeks vacation on all Inclusive I gained 6kg. So yeah... Some common sense is very important :)
Is it wrong I don't care what I eat during my vacation... I enjoy my time and when I get back I get back on track. My friends always make fun of me for that and I won't lie I do feel guilty.
Great video as always Jordon. I have a question on strength training , if anyone can weigh in their opinion that would be superb :) So I have been doing strength training for about a month now and I feel very discouraged that my arms are not getting slimmer. In fact, it got bigger and I can't fit into some of my shirts. It gets very tight in the arm area. I understand the muscle is growing but at the same time I am aiming to have slimmer, leaner arms. Any thoughts from anyone would be amazing thank you.
It varies depending on many factors, not least of them being something largely intractable: your genetics/epigenetics. Some women will thrive at 20-25%, others 23-28%, others maybe 30-35%, while some maybe as low as 15-19%BF, but we can be fairly confident most women will be struggling sub-10%BF and have really bad long-term health outcomes with 40%+
It depends on what you consider a "vacation" or "trip" and how frequently that occurs for you and how long/duration...then also what phase of dieting you are currently in (maintain vs cut vs bulk), but generally I would say simply be reasonable and don't eat like a lab rat hits the "administer opioid" button!
I know people that view any time they leave the house as an opportunity to "eat like an asshole" whether that's donuts in the office, gas station around town, drive-through on a trip to the next town over for an errand, etc. Lol
