Phuket Challenge: Is It Possible to Spend Eight Days at Luxury Resorts and Not Gain Weight?

Michael Taylor is flying to Phuket in Southern Thailand, where he will spend eight nights at (mostly) five star hotels and resorts.

Michael is hoping that he can skip lunch most days – to make more room for dinner. But that will not always be possible.
