Do You Need An Excuse..Men V Women..

[real mad hatter]

Good Saturday Morning Everyone..Hope You'All are keeping well..Here's my teaser for today..Now for a man my age,(21) I still watch what,and how much I eat at home.But at WDW it's a different ball game.I ain't travelling 3000 miles to snub up my nose at a overdose on cupcakes,or a full portion of Baby Back Ribs with a side portion of fried chicken.This is where the fireworks begin....I reckon Women need more of an excuse than Men to watch what their eating at Disney.I could be way wrong here..So let the fight begin..Are women more prone to watching their diets on a Disney vacation compared to their other half.?

In my experience we both go crazy ... but I don't know if thats the norm! Its when we get back that I don't give a toss and she's different!

You can't gain weight at WDW, so eat and drink whatever you want...Mac & Cheese hotdogs, Rueben hot dogs, Ghiradelli's sundaes, Dole Whips, chocolate-covered strawberries...I really should have eaten breakfast before reading this thread.

 

[MinnieM123]

No question about it--I eat more food when I'm at the parks; however, I try to convince myself that "Disney" calories are not as fattening as regular calories!

 

[Minthorne]

I actually think I eat less at the parks...but I drink more!

 

[epcotisbest]

At my age (definitely not 21), I have little choice but to not overindulge too much, but do find myself sampling more sweets and carbs at WDW than I would at home...wife can pretty much eat what she wants, and she still eats more sensibly than I do.

When I have waited soooo long for a trip to WDW the last thing I want to think about is that I should not be eating something as too fattening etc, blow that I am on vacation and in Disney, I can restart my diet when I get home!

The short answer is *nope* LOL. I try to eat healthy all year, and throw diets out of the window... however, do try to eat atleast half way healthy (very little beef, veggies, not too much fried food) Ron can eat anything and not gain an ounce.... he doesn't diet at all!! (so NOT fair)

I have to say both DW and I eat whatever we want at WDW, we're on vacation darnit! However, with all the walking and swimming we both actually lose a little weight.

I don't intentionally watch what I eat, but I tend to forget to eat in the parks

My DH and I agree that we are on vacation; it is time to enjoy life. We even let the kids have more junk. Plus, we walk so much that we burn off those extra calories.

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

Both me and DW eat whatever we want at Disney and to Hae with the carbs.We just go back to our normal way of eating when we get back and if we have gained any pounds they soon slide off .

 

[coachwnh]

I eat way too much when in WDW and I love it!!!!! I consume a lot more soda, ice cream, and sweets in general then any other time when in Disney.

 

[HRHPrincessAriel]

I eat and drink WAY more on vacation. I figure I'm burning off calories with all my walking(or running at rope drop) ;-)

Vacation = Feeding Frenzy

 

[Victor Kelly]

On our honeymoon we ate whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. We still lost weight during the trip. But what many do not consider is that when you are doing all that walking, your body needs more food for energy.

 

[jw24]

Yeah, I definitely eat more on vacation than normal. The sweets consumption goes up, the junk food goes up, you know the drill. You're supposed to let loose but not too much. Moderation is key. As long as those Disney eating habits don't continue after the vacation and you revert back to eating normal, you should be fine.

 

[rsoxguy]

Each trip is different for me. I was there for a few days in a row a couple of years ago, and I unintentionally lost three pounds or so on the trip. I have also gone for a single day trip and ingested more sugar than a fly with a tapeworm. I guess I'm just moody.

 

[Sharkreef11]

My wife and I are big advocates for healthy eating. We look at our bodies as our greatest investments. Basically you get out what you put in kind of thing. 90% + of our diet is lean and clean. BUT.... when we go to Disney World..... we are in the bubble. We typically get one trip a year for 10 days and we INDULGE. There is some restraint but not much. We still workout while in Disney but make the justification to eat whatever we want because we will get right back to our normal lifestyle when we come home. But when we are there it's cupcakes, pizza, cheese dip at cosmic rays, chicken nuggets, fries, ice cream, cookies, cheeeese, and the occasional brew!

Thats always worked for us as well. It's a vacation from life after all, so why not enjoy it to the fullest. But we've been lucky that even with all the extra snacking and desserts, the all day walking balances it out and we've never come back with excess pounds.
