Vacation Dieting

Even though it's vacation season you shouldn't take a holiday from good eating. There are a million temptations out there on the road and in hotels . Try to avoid them if you can, along with eating right. You'll not only feel better but have a better vacation too.It's good to come home over relaxed not over weight.

Getting to your destination can be tricky, especially if you're traveling by car.Almost every roadside rest area  has either a McDonald's or a Burger King. Cinnabon and Starbucks also reign supreme at these  too. Try to eat prudently. Opt for the grilled chicken and a salad or baked potato if there's a Wendy. Some stops even sell heroes. Stick with a simple one that has only lettuce and tomato along with turkey or chickenas fillers. Avoid the fries. As for drinks stock up on chilled bottle water.Iced tea or iced black coffee are perfect for those long trips.

When you get to hotel room,. don't go crazy with the variety of restaurants  and treats .have a simple egg white  or  fresh fruit for breakfast , maybe tacos and guac for lunch or even dinner .Instead of the captain's platter of fried fish and crab cakes at the seafood joint, go for a simple steamed lobster with lemon. Try to incorporate as many local fruits an veggies into your diet too. It's tempting to hit the resort's ice cream stand but try the town's Farmer's Market instead. there you can  find healthy peaches and plums for a nice evening snack. If you're by a boardwalk, judge what you think is healthier fare / Fried clams may be tasty but opt for a tad more nutritious slice of pizza instead.Instead of frozen custard go for Italian ice instead.

Stick to your normal eating habits when you're on holiday. Enjoy the sun and surf, not the empty calories. It'll make for a healthier and happier vacation.
