Synopsis

A cruise is a fantastic vacation but the anticipation beforehand and enjoyment on board can be tinged with concern about returning home with the unwelcome souvenir of extra pounds.
This book shows how the amazing facilities and opportunities on a cruise can help us avoid weight gain once we know where to look. It is packed with inspiring advice combining the author’s professional experience on ships with the latest research in nutrition and psychology. It explores not just what and how much we eat, but where, when, how quickly, why and even who we eat with!
The 50 practical, and sometimes surprising, tips cover everything from fine dining and alcohol to buffets, breakfast and staying active.
Whether it’s your first cruise or your fifty-first, you can navigate the challenges of all-inclusive, 24-hour access to delicious food, avoid weight gain and still enjoy yourself!
What experts in the field say about this book ...
Dr Ken Fox, Emeritus Professor, Department of Exercise, Nutrition and Health Sciences, University of Bristol
"This is a great little book based on sound nutrition and psychological research as well as years of experience working on cruise ships. The tips are practical and make a lot of sense. The reader has the opportunity to select strategies to find a formula that will work for them without taking away any enjoyment from their holiday.
This book offers easy onboard reading and a means of taking advantage of the much wider array of choices than most of us are used to for avoiding weight gain. It might even help improve eating patterns in the long term! I've just returned from a lovely 12-day cruise in SE Asia and wish I had read this book beforehand."
Tom Sanders Emeritus Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics, King’s College London
“ Travelling Light provides a useful guide on how to avoid weight gain on a cruise and still enjoy yourself. The book is well-written in an amusing and accessible style by an experienced dietitian with a background in psychology and experience of working on cruise ships as a lecturer. The advice provided is sensible and well-supported by the science. I can highly recommend it."

"In her unique style, Sue offers evidence-based nutrition advice in an accessible way. This book is beautifully set out in 50 tips; each one is clearly explained and realistic. With this handbook in your pocket, you can enjoy the richness of a cruise yet be mindful of not gaining extra weight. "
Claire Callaghan Chartered Physiotherapist Specialising in Women’s Health (www.clairecallaghan.com)
" This book is brilliant and has a mix of practical tips and diagrams making it easy to follow. Sue breaks down scientific information into easily understood ideas. I liked that she acknowledged the need for flexibility and fun balanced with making healthy choices. She covers how to approach the different types of situations (breakfast, lunch, drinks at the bar and buffets) in such a way that you don’t overindulge.
There is a detailed breakdown of which foods are good for us, which represent ‘empty calories’ and which are preferable if we're thinking about nutrition and calorie intake. There's great information on how being active helps with avoiding weight gain."
Tanya Haffner, RD CEO of MyNutriWeb & Nutrilicious
