Secrets to healthy eating

While traveling, your diet can be quite erratic. Here are some eating tips to help you stay in shape while traveling.

"Standard shape" diet

1. Eat several small meals about two hours apart to boost your metabolism. So don't limit yourself to three main meals.

2. When you travel, it can be difficult to find healthy food. To maintain your weight, you should cut down on salt. Too much salt will retain water in your body. The average daily salt intake should be just 10g, mainly from bread or breakfast cereals.

3. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, limit sugar intake. Avoid soda and carbonated drinks. Drink plenty of water to help your body synthesize food and increase energy.

4. Eat protein-rich foods like cheese, beans, tofu, and fish. These foods are rich in protein, fatty acids, and omega 3, and they help regulate hormones in the body.

Food should be prioritized

Traveling means eating out at restaurants and fast food joints. But when you do eat fast food, skip the sauces, fries, cheese, and bacon. Instead, opt for vegetables, grilled chicken, and salads.

Dried fruits and nuts are healthy snacks that can accompany you on your trip. They will increase your energy and keep you full longer. Stock up on low-calorie, high-fiber dried fruits like walnuts, almonds, dried strawberries, and raisins. Salads with a little meat are your next choice.

How to "eat comfortably"?

Try not to force yourself to follow a specific diet when traveling, as it can be difficult to do. Occasionally, you can indulge in a “spoiled” meal, but make sure you control your portion sizes.

Eat until you feel full and satisfied. A good way to do this is to create a hunger and fullness scale in your head from 1-10. 1 means you are very hungry and 10 means you are full. Try to stay between 4-8 throughout the day. 4 means you are slightly hungry and 8 means you are just full.

Always try to eat slowly and think before you eat. Don't eat just because there is food in front of you.
