· Pack some healthy snacks for the plane ride.
· Indulge in local delicacies in moderation. Split your meal
with someone or only eat half of your scrumptious local meal.
· Have a healthy breakfast every morning, even if you are
eating out. It is possible to get oatmeal with fruit, or a healthy omelet at
most restaurants. Don't opt for the Eggs Benedict (This suggestion is for me! haha)
just because you are on vacation.
· Take some snacks with you - some almonds, an apple or Lara Bars - something portable just in case
you get famished on your journey. You don't want to be heading to the snack bar
at the airport or the first fast food restaurant you see because you need to
eat now!
· If you have a dessert, split it with someone.
· If you have a cocktail, make sure it is something light like
a light beer or a white wine. Stay away from sugary, umbrella-adorned cocktails
like Margaritas, etc. Drink a glass of water between cocktails.
· Be as active as you can - go on a bike ride, walk around the
city and take in the sights - to burn off those extra calories you might
consume.
· Check out the local market when you arrive and buy some
healthy snacks for your hotel room so you don't raid the mini bar.
· Don't be afraid to ask the waiter if they have any healthy
choices on the menu. Many restaurants offer a healthy selection or two.
· Drink plenty of water. Lots and lots of water. Buy some bottled
water at the local market when you arrive, so you can carry them with you on
your travels.
With these tips - I plan to keep on track on my vacation.
And, not gain a pound! And, you can too! Bon Voyage!!!
