If you’re headed out for a summer getaway
this year, one thing that you need to take into account is how to manage your
eating so that you don’t pack on the pounds. Nothing is worse than coming home
from vacation and having to go on a diet for a few weeks to regain your former
body back.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that you
can’t enjoy yourself on that vacation however – you just have to know how to do
so wisely.
Let’s have a quick peak at some of the top
tips to remember with regards to how you can stick to your diet while on
vacation.
Choose
One ‘Cheat’ Meal A Day
The very first thing that you should be
doing is choosing to have just one cheat meal a day. If you know that you’re
going to be going out for a fancy dinner for instance, try and cut back on the
other meals during the day so that you can strive for calorie balance.
You can indulge in that one meal as long as
the others are smaller since then you will still reach your calorie target for
the day.
Keep the other meals more protein and vegetable
based so you’ll still meet your nutritional needs but allow for extra ‘leeway’
calories in that chosen meal you will indulge at.
Watch
Your Beverages Carefully
Second, also keep tabs on your beverages
each day as well. This is where much of the weight that’s gained on holidays
comes from. If you’re indulging in high
calorie cocktail like beverages, this is going to really add up and spell diet
disaster over time.
Likewise, if you down soda or fruit juice,
those calories tend to add up quickly as well. Stay away from them so that you have more
calories to spend on the foods that you want to consume.
Pick
Up Some Smart Snacks
Finally, the last thing that you can do to
help maintain your diet while you’re away on vacation is to pick up some smart
snacks. Rather than going for whatever
you can find when you hit the local gas station or convenience bar at your
resort, store a few healthier snacks in your hotel room.
This way, when you need refueling, you can
just head up there and pick up something that will help promote optimal health
rather than hinder it.
Pick up some low-sugar cereal to snack on,
pop top cans of tuna, nuts or natural nut butter with whole wheat crackers, or
some fresh fruit.
If you happen to have a mini-fridge
available in your room, that will also really broaden the food choices that are
available to you.
The more often you can eat foods that you
know the exact nutrition of, the better off you’ll be.
