How I Ate in Europe and Maintained My 11kg Weight Loss (Without Tracking or Stress)
In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my recent Europe trip and answering one of the questions I get asked all the time:
“Angela, how do you eat when you’re travelling and still maintain your weight loss?”
After spending a few weeks travelling through Europe (and eating all the amazing food), I’m happy to say I came home feeling good in my body, confident, and without the usual post-holiday guilt, bloating, or “I need to go on a diet” mentality.
But it wasn’t always this way.
Years ago, travelling meant restriction before the trip, overeating during the trip, and punishing myself with another diet afterwards. That all-or-nothing mindset kept me stuck for years—and I know so many women are still living in that cycle.
So in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I ate, how I thought, and what skills I used to enjoy my holiday and maintain my 11kg weight loss - without calorie tracking, restriction, or compensation.
Inside this episode, I share:
- Why sharing meals was one of my biggest secret weapons while travelling
- How I restructured my day of eating to support digestion, fullness, and enjoyment
- Why skipping breakfast is a no-go for me—especially when travelling
- How I prioritised protein without obsessing or being “perfect”
- What it really means to pick your “worth it” moments (and why this changes everything)
- How I enjoyed alcohol and treats mindfully without spiralling
- The one skill that changed my life: eating to satisfaction, not past fullness
This episode isn’t about rules.
It’s about skills, awareness, and intention—the same things I teach my clients so they can lose weight in a way that actually fits real life, including holidays, celebrations, and travel.
If you’ve ever felt nervous about going on holidays because you’re scared of undoing your progress… this episode is for you.
And if you know someone who’s travelling soon or stuck in the diet–holiday–diet cycle, please share this episode with them. You might just change the way they approach food forever.
