Many of us lose motivation and make unhealthy food choices while away from home so LA Weight Loss is pleased to share a handful of tips and tricks to ensure that proper nutrition and exercise are incorporated into your summer travel plans.
Greensboro, North Carolina (PRWEB) August 01, 2012
With fall just around the corner, vacationers are in a frenzy to pack in last-minute summer vacations. Before hitting the beach, cruise ship, resort or another vacation destination, be prepared to reject the many indulgences that go hand-in-hand with a bit of relaxation!
Food When we’re traveling, it’s easy to overindulge in local flavor, bursting buffets and cheap eats, but weeks of hard work can be undone in just a couple of weeks. Cruise ships are particularly notorious for their 24/7 buffet services, making it challenging to stick to a plan when tasty food is in constant rotation. However, the following tips can help you overcome the craving for more:
1. Before dining, plan out your portions. Arriving to a meal with your mind set on the appropriate food size is helpful for controlling a potential binge.

2. Ask about smaller portion sizes. Although food portions are increasing, food intake should not. Many restaurants offer half-sized meals that are more acclimated to how much food a body truly requires. If a reduced portion plate is not available, ask your server to box half of your entree to-go before it arrives at the table.

3. Drink a full glass of water before your meal to ward off any ravenous urges to overeat. Often, lack of hydration is mixed up with feeling hungry, so keep drinking water to make sure your body is hydrated and free from any muddled hunger signals!
4. Snack, snack, snack. Instead of a few large meals throughout the day when you’re extremely hungry, pack different healthy snacks such as vegetables or fruit to supplement your daily nutrition. When you’re ready for a main meal, you’ll likely make better choices regarding food type and portion than if you went without food hours beforehand.
