    Hi,

    Just back from holidays (2 weeks) and did the absolute dog on it!! Feel and look like i’ve been set back about 8 months of working out!!

    What’s the best way to sort this out? I’m assuming some heavy cardio and plenty of water as a start..?

    Just getting back into the swing of things for a week or two should help a lot. Could be water weight and the like that you've put on. Have to enjoy the holidays when they happen. Don't sweat it. Just get back into a routine and good habits, see where you are in a week or two and adjust accordingly then.

    My N=1, this happens to me. I've never really looked into it (I assume water retention), but my body settles back to more normal after a week or so of back into better eating. Not necessarily without some fitness loss/ weight gain, but certainly not to the degree the first step on the scales might have shown. One thing not to do, is go "f*ck it" and have another few weeks of eating and drinking rubbish!

    Heavy cardio?
    A sure fire way to keep yoyo-ing is to go from one extreme to the other.
    A few weeks of heavy cardio then throw in the towel and do the dog on it.
    Rinse and repeat.

    Exercise has little to do with your weight anyway.
    It's what you consume.

    Light cardio and reign in the calories and you're on the way.
