How Can I Stick to My Diet When Traveling?

Dear Glenny´s,
airportlobby.jpgI´ve generally been able to stick to my diet when I´m at home, but I start to run into trouble when I travel, especially for business. It’s difficult to cope with the stresses of travel, especially at the airport. Any tips on how I can travel well and still manage to eat healthy?

Thanks.

Terry

    Heather Bauer, RD from Nu-Train, has some good tips for sticking to your diet when you travel. Here´s what she had to say:

    “Breakfast At The Airport: Dash into Starbucks or any coffee shop for a venti skim latte. Yes, it really is half of a healthy breakfast. It’s a shot of espresso along with roughly 9 ounces of milk that will cost you about 200 calories. The second stop is a piece of fruit. Grab a banana or any other fruit. There. You’re done! And you won’t be sitting at the gate or on the tarmac, starving!

    Lunch and Dinner At The Airport: The two top choices are a sandwich (choose a turkey on whole wheat with mustard and lettuce) or a chicken Caesar salad with a light balsamic vinaigrette dressing. You can find these at most any airport. Starbucks, which is everywhere, makes a good stop because they list the calories on their packaged sandwiches.

    Make it a Spa Trip.

    Here’s a fresh idea that can change your whole approach to travel. Think of your trip – whether for business or pleasure, for two days or a week – as a spa trip.

    You’ll be away from the usual distractions of your home and family life and it’s your opportunity to focus on…. You! Begin with your flight.

    A few of my clients use air travel as a ‘cleanse’. They request only hot water and lemon to drink and they fast (unless the flight is quite long). They arrive at their destinations refreshed and light.

    In fact, an interesting recent study from Harvard researchers published in Science reveals that skipping food in the air may help beat jet lag. It seems the body has a ‘feeding’ clock in the brain and skipping food prompts you to stay awake until you can eat. So what could be better: more alert and more slim! “

    Taking hot water with lemon juice cleanses our body. Instead of running for fast foods, it’s better to go for fresh fruits and juices with no added sugar. Take atleast 5 to 6 litres of water a day.
    I hope this information is useful.

Got something to say?
