Seven Food Hacks To Stay Healthy On The Go

Every time you plan that fun filled road trip or a vacation to a foreign destination, you have a little fear deep down about how you would come back and stand on that weighing machine and go ‘oh my god’. The efforts that you had taken all this while, working out, following all forms of diet, to lose a single kilo of weight, could go waste in just ten days of vacation. Healthy eating may go right out of the window during holidays.

You always wonder why it's tough to shed pounds during vacation, even though you are more active than ever. Often people say that returning home from any trip is like taking five giant steps backwards on their health and having to start all over again. The whole idea bums you out and puts you under constant worry about missing a great night out on your travel itinerary. Being out of your natural surroundings can throw good intentions overboard. While controlling temptations is very difficult, it also can be a challenge to spot options that aren't loaded with calories, fat, and sodium.

Fitness expert Steve Kamb in his book Level Up Your Life says, “We should put a decent plan in place so that we cannot go overboard while travelling and therefore skip drastic measures when we get back home, something that’s consistent and sustainable.” He adds, “What we’re aiming for is food that keeps us satiated and on target, mostly vegetables, some form of protein (be it from animal sources or legumes), and then some fruits and nuts — occasionally a bit of rice or potatoes, and minimal bread or pasta or liquid calories. You’ve probably heard of this type of diet referred to as the Paleo diet or eating like a caveman. It’s the ultimate time-tested nutrition strategy, as you’re eating natural foods that have existed for millennia. Better yet, these foods can generally be found anywhere on the planet, and it keeps things simple, so you don’t need to worry about counting calories or weighing your food. The focus should be on quality food from natural sources.” Be a smart adventurer on your next vacation with our travel tips for eating and staying healthy on the go.
