We all travel. We all worry about what to eat when we travel.
Some people gain all the weight they lost before going for their trips, and others can still be aware about the quality and the quantity of their food.
For me, being on a vacation means relaxing, changing environment, and getting out of the routine. While getting out of the routine, it is hard for me to maintain a diet or if you want a healthy way of eating. It is hard also to stick to the food timings.
But I try as much as I can to follow these key tips, and believe me it works, and it’s not as hard as it seems!
HERE ARE THE KEY TIPS!
1- Engage in touristic activities that involve walking which helps in burning calories and is fun at the same time.
2- Drink plenty of water and reduce the intake of other drinks like soft drinks and juices which contain lots of sugar and calories.
You can have only one glass of fresh juice a day
3- Use sweeteners instead of white sugar for your coffees and teas
1 teaspoon of white sugar has 20 calories v/s 1 teaspoon of sweetener has less than 1 calorie.
4- Select all varieties of vegetable salads and emphasize on mustard and lemon dressings, instead of mayonnaise and Italian dressings.
5- Reduce the intake of junk and sweets that contain high amounts of fat and sugar. But you can still treat yourself once a week.
Replace it by health dishes, like mushroom steak with baked potato, grilled chicken breast with steamed rice, tomato sauce pastas, sorbets, fruit salads, jelly, frozen yogurt ice creams…
6- Don’t skip any of the three main meals: Breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Eat the three meals in order; timing of food is also very important for weight control, not only the amount or the quality of food.
Be aware not to have a very late dinner, maximum timing for dinner is at 9h pm.
7- Avoid adding salt to your dishes. Taste the food first. If it needs more salt you can add a little, but you have to taste it first!
Salt doesn’t have calories but it retains water in the body and will increase your weight and makes you feel bloated.
8- For your breakfast, all hotels and even restaurants have a variety of diet food items.
Always choose skim milk, low fat cheese, egg white, low fat yogurt, muesli or bran flakes for cereals. If you need something sweet after your breakfast, go for fresh fruit salads.
Controlling what you eat during your vacation doesn’t mean that you can’t taste the tradition food of the country you are visiting…but do it in moderation…

Good tips for the traveler. I guess what it really comes down to is just because you are are on vacation does not mean your healthy life-style should be on vacation too. lol.
I travel on business trips a lot and the first thing I do upon checking into the hotel is locate their gym and plan my day so that I can put in at least 30 minutes of workout either before meeting clients or in the evenings.
Nice that' s very good..So you won't get out of your routine!
