Tips for healthy eating on vacation.
First Plan ahead for healthy foods and snacks on the go. If you fly to reach your goal, do not depend on airport and airplane food. Bring your own sandwiches, salads and / or healthy snacks orChoose wisely at the airport. Many airlines still allow the application for a special meal when traveling abroad, but usually require at least 48 hours in advance. Check your carrier in advance and if any request lo-cal, lo-lo-fat and cholesterol decisions.
According to travel by car, pack a cooler with fresh fruit, low fat cheese sticks, cereal bars, crackers, trail mix and plenty of water. Roadside rest areas are famous for their high-fat, high calorie foods and findselection of nutrients can be difficult. But if you have your own food, you can take advantage of their boards, and even the weather is good, many picnic tables.
Third Do not let boredom lead to overeating. long hours of travel by air or car snacking can lead to boredom. Make sure to entertain, much himself, a big book, books on tape when the road conditions, an iPod or MP3 player with your favorite music, magazines with crossword puzzles or Sudoku puzzles or laptop loaded.
FourthBefore leaving for the trip, call the hotel and ask them to empty the fridge or provide you with a small empty fridge, so you can fill with water and healthy snacks. If you can not make them reject the minibar key when you check in to avoid temptation.
Fifth Explore the surroundings and visit local fruit and vegetable market, if possible, on foot or by bicycle. In this way you get after sitting for so long some exercise during the journey and get to your hotel room with storagehealthy choices. Many hotels and rental bikes can tell you the fun, food and fruit is clear that the locals patronize.
Sixth At dinner, enjoy the experience, but apply the same healthy habits have gone home. Ask for dressing on the side, choose baked, fried, grilled, loads of fresh vegetables to ask that she very gently steamed or fried in olive oil and stop eating when it was established, instead of filling. If your hotel has a microwave, you can alsoFurther back for lunch the next day.
Seventh Enjoy samples of local delicacies debt free instead of party. Who would not enjoy chocolate souffle in Paris, Benoit in New Orleans, founded in Switzerland, or a clam bake on the shore? But she made a steady diet and overindulging every day of your trip will certainly lead to feelings of guilt and the desire for a crash diet after the return home (which I recommend, of course, never!)
8th Do not drink your calorieswith exotic cocktail poolside or enjoy happy hour seven days in a row. Most people are surprised to find the caloric content of many alcoholic beverages, some adding up to more than should be taken into a whole meal. Stick to wine, light beer, or simple mixtures of four grams of alcohol mixed with seltzer, diet soda, juice or a splash fight.
Eating should be a healthy lifestyle, with occasional indulgences are built in. But a week's holiday, with each meal and snacks eaten outside, filled adrastic increase of alcohol are at every meal bread and sweets certainly lead to a catastrophe on a scale when you get home. Make sure you rest return from vacation feeling rejuvenated, healthy and loaded with a surplus of great memories, like a pound!
