Thursday, June 5, 2008 Ways To Eat Healthy on Vacation

You're going on vacation? Well, have a great time, but don't have regrets when you return home. Even when you're traveling, you can stay with your healthy meal plan and not feel guilty and depressed when you come back to your bathroom scale. You can vacation and maintain your healthy weight. On some vacations, you can even lose weight (not an impossible phenomenon, but more unlikely).

Of course, if you're traveling, you're going to have to be creative and smart about your choices. You'll probably be eating out a lot. You may even be eating out for every meal!

Get your strategies in order because now is the time to prepare to enjoy your vacation without putting your diet on hold. Follow these tips for vacation to avoid undoing what you've accomplished.

1. First, modify your goals. Take your "diet" to the next step. Vacation time is not the best time to try to lose weight, but try and remember all the good habits you've learned. Making healthy choices wherever you go is the secret to staying slim. You've developed these healthy habits, so have fun.

2. Live by the healthy people's credo: bake, broil and grill! And it certainly doesn't hurt to choose the leaner meats like chicken and fish.

3. Learn the right portion size of foods to maintain their weight while away from home. Most restaurant meals serve portions that are big enough for two! Share your entree with your travel companion, and start with a salad or soup. If it's special, share a dessert and take a good walk after dinner!

4. Exercise your will and make healthier choices. Many fast food restaurants now offer a nice array of tasty salads and special meals that are catered to either a low-fat or a low-carb eating plan.

5. A sandwich shop or sub shop can be a good choice... when you order right. Enjoying lean meats such as turkey breast, roast beef or lean ham on a whole-wheat roll is one decent choice; pile on the lettuce and tomato! Major franchises like Subway offer low-carb and low-fat selections. Read the menu then order what's best for you!
