A vacation is a time to relax, explore and embrace a break from your busy life. But, whether youโre visiting family or traveling with them, it can at times be a stressful affair that disrupts healthy eating routines. However, with proper planning, we can show you how to eat healthy on vacation.
Here, we are sharing some amazing tips with you to keep you fit even on a vacation.
- Just say โno.โ
When youโre traveling with friends or family, youโre always under peer pressure of eating food. But start practicing saying โNOโ to unhealthy food and keep saying it. Just say no thank you and that youโre not hungry and if it doesnโt work the first time, try, try, again.
- Visit the local grocery store
Visit the local grocery store and explore all the regional foods. If youโre staying with family, stock up on your healthy meal plan staples and keep them at home. If your family are up for it, why not offer to plan and cook dinner so you can buy well-balanced foods and share your favorite recipes with them. If youโre staying in a hotel or hostel, get foods that donโt require refrigeration like nuts or nut butter, whole grain bread, fresh fruit, and vegetables.
- Eat breakfast in
Itโs said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but itโs also one of the easiest way to keep you on track. Preparing and eating breakfast will help fuel you for the entire day.
- Travel hackย
Keep plain oats and nuts wherever you go. Even if youโre in a hotel, add some hot water, and youโve got yourself a cheap, easy, and healthy breakfast-to-go.
- Pack snacks
Ever wonder why you go straight for the candy when you go to the grocery store after a long day? Even if youโve got the best intentions, when youโre starving you will grab the quickest source of fuel. To prevent entering the hunger danger zone, bring easy to pack snacks with you like nuts, dried soybeans, minimally processed jerky, hard-boiled eggs, string cheese, peanut butter, and celery sticks.
- Focus on fruits and veggies
When in doubt think to fill half of your plate with vegetables, a quarter with protein and a quarter with whole grains orย complex carbsย then add a dash ofย healthy fat. Aim to add fresh fruits or vegetables in your every meal and snack. This will give you nutrients and nourish your body while traveling.
Be gentle with yourself and realize that the vacation wonโt last forever and enjoy non-food related fun and activities. Try your best to eat healthy on a vacation and know that every meal or movement is a chance to practice self-care.
