I don't know if I am experiencing the high altitude weight gain but my clothes have gotten tighter. This happens every year and I now know to bring one size larger jeans. I will say the having 2 glasses of wine each night, tortilla chips and some fries at lunch. I probably need to cut down on those salty things. The good news is: I am getting a lot of exercise, eating very healthy and no sweets. The altitude weight will come off when I get home. All in all I am thrilled that I don't feel deprived on this trip.
About the beans I never at them until this past year but I am going to try a lot of bean recipes. Since I don't like tofu I think they'll become my main protein source.
STEAMBOAT VACATION PLANNING: High Altitude Health Tips
Swelling
Otherwise symptomless swelling of face, hands and feet, with a weight gain of four to 12 pounds sometimes occurs at altitude, most often in women. The swelling may persist for several days after returning to lower altitude before it resolves spontaneously. The cause is unknown but the condition will respond to a low sodium diet and diuretics.
