supps for holiday - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

just wondered if any one could recommend a good supplement to help keep the body fat/weight down whilst on holiday as i will be eating and drinking like a thirsty pig, is chitosan any good?

no not really as it also inhibits the absorption of good fats as well which is not good...

if you are going on holiday and you are going to be eating and drinking then i wouldn't bother about fat loss supplements as the alcohol you drink will call a halt to any fat burning.....just enjoy yourself.

the idea of a holiday is to have a break from everything mate, just forget about your training and give your body a rest! I just sold my car so I'm having a week off to find a new one and relaz as it's easter

I agree that even if the diet is in check while on holiday, the alcohol is a definitely killer! Keep a balance if you are worried. Above all, like has been said, it's a holiday, so relax and enjoy it but keep that little bit of guilt going whenever you are pigging out.

cheers guys, sounds like some sound advice although i will find it hard not to get the odd weights or hiit cardio session just to keep the metabolism goin and make things a little easier when i get back.

For pscarb(or anyone else): would you mind lookin at my last post, "help with abs please" and makin a post, i've been reading some of your other replies and it appears that you are the man in the know. cheers.

8 sleeps til' hols, c'mon!!!!!!!!
