 | Ways to Eat Healthy While on Vacation
Here are ways to stay on a healthy eating plan while on vacation [or retreat] and still enjoy yourself!
- Resist the Urge to Splurge
- Have It Your Way - What, in particular, are customers asking for? They often want menu items prepared or dressed a different way than is listed on the menu. People also like to have a range of portion sizes to choose from, and many diners are asking to have part of their meal "doggy-bagged."
- Enjoy the Scenery and Enjoy the Food - It doesn't make sense to deprive yourself of an enjoyable food; the trick is carrying "moderation" in your back pocket. Sample these delectable foods, instead of feasting on them.
- Walking Is Your Secret Weapon - Go ahead and take that stroll after dinner, swim, or get up for that early morning hike!
- A Treat a Day - Just try to keep your treats to one a day. After that, opt for a healthy choice instead.
- Better Choices on the Menu
- Water Is Your Friend
- Take "Five a Day" on Vacation with You - Now, more than ever, make an effort to get five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. It will make meals seem more filling and satisfying. It will provide enough fiber in your diet, and keep your intestines regular. And it will keep your levels of antioxidants and important vitamins high so you are less likely to get sick.
- Eat When You're Hungry and Stop When You're Comfortable
