Over 22 million people completed a cruise holiday in 2015; many of those came home weighing upwards of 4lb heavier – due in no small part to the huge quantities and choice of food and drink on board modern cruise liners.
Utopia for cruise passengers would almost certainly be to be able to cruise, eat and drink and not have to fear the scales on the home journey! …. Martin and Marion Shirran argue that this IS possible – and as creators of the Gastric Mind Band weight loss system, they have the tools, tips and tricks to help readers achieve just that.
The Shirrans, avid cruisers themselves, want to help you avoid needing to take several sets of clothes to accommodate your expanding waistline. The statistics from their own major UK cruise passenger survey, certainly back up their concerns about how food excess leads to excess ‘body baggage’ as people come down the gangway, and they advocate Pre, During and Post-cruise phases to address the problem in a sustainable way.
With contributions from Patsy Morgan, Senior Lecturer in Cruise Tourism at Southampton Solent University, best selling author of Cruise Confidential Brian Bruns, and Australian Cardiologist Graham Sceats, the book also takes a look at many aspects of modern (and in some cases historical) on-board catering, eating and drinking. Plus of course how obesity in general can be seen to impact cruise passengers' enjoyment of their holiday.
And - importantly - also included is the story of travel agent and cruise fan Sarah Jayne Price, who lost more than half her body weight using the Shirrans' methods and STILL cruises without piling on the pounds.
