How long to get safely back to food

[wigglychick]

How many weeks does it take to safely get back to eating food ? I'm trying to work out the best plan for me for my holidays - there is no way I can SS on them as I don't have enough energy - we go on very active camping holidays. So I'm trying to work out the best plan for me to get back to taking in enough calories to cope with that - we go on holiday in the middle of August.
I've tested out a few activities over the last week or so to see how I went - my usual bike ride left me feeling ill for a couple of days and an hour in the garden also left me feeling yukky and headachey so I can see that SS is a no-go for an active holiday = however, I don't want to put shed loads of weight back on while away.

Would really appreciate some advice please

Maybe you could try to stick to one of the higher plans while you are away - maybe the 1000cal or higher? Sallies is a really active lady so follows the 1200cal plan for the same energy reasons you want to avoid ss while away and she has had a fabulous loss so far - 3 stone-ish I think.

If you choose to do a different step while you are away you may need to prepare in advance of your holiday by building up your food intake gradually through the aam,790cal plans for a week or so before - a cdc would be better placed to tell you how long to take moving up the plans ahead of the holiday.

Failing that - if you choose not to follow any kind of CD plan while you away just try to drink lots of water and avoid excessive carb intake!!

Whatever you choose I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
