Travel and vacation is a time when it becomes difficult to maintain a weight loss schedule. While on vacation, people generally eat more than usual as we relax and indulge our senses for a short period.
Here are a few tips which can help reduce or maintain weight while on vacation.
1. Drink plenty of water – Try drinking plenty of water which will make you feel full and also keep you hydrated and energetic throughout the day.
2. Avoid cooked food – Instead of any cooked food, make sure that you have cereal, whole grain toast or fruits for breakfast. If you have to eat in a restaurant order a bowl of vegetables. Also avoid any fast food like burgers, fries, cookies and muffins.
3. Watch your portions – The Size of your food portions always matters, so remember to keep a watch on your portions. Be careful not to gobble on food just because you are on a vacation and the buffet is unlimited! Opt for À la carte instead.
4. Share food – When you are eating out, order 3 meals for four people and divide that in four. This will help you to keep a watch on the portions and keep overeating at bay.
5. Walk whenever possible – Whenever you get an opportunity, try to walk. We tend to forget our workout schedules when we are out traveling for business or pleasure. When you are in a hotel room, do not keep staring at the TV, instead, indulge in some exercise like pushups or crunches, this will help your keep fit.
