Vacations and business travel made it difficult for many folks this week, but those are the times we need to focus the most. Finding ways to eat healthy and exercise while traveling is hard work, but if that’s a typical part of your life, you must find ways to make it work.
Here are some tips on staying thin while traveling:
1. In the airport, stick to light sandwiches or salads.
2. Avoid fried foods at all costs
3. Beware of airplane food.
4. Bring your own nutritious snacks.
5. Order from the healthy eating menu selections at restaurants.
6. Order sauces on the side.
7. Check and see if the hotel you’re considering has a gym.
8. Use stairs whenever possible – it really does make a difference.
9. See if your gym has a location nearby.
10. Get your rest – a sleep-deprived brain can send out false signals of hunger.
11. Drink water instead of snacking.
