Eating Healthy On Vacation… Is It Possible?

March 1st, 2010 | Author: Jill

Vacation time is here … road trips, long flights, and rising gas prices await us. While packing suitcases, booking rooms, and planning itineraries, set aside time to think about what you’ll eat while on the road (or in the air).

Maintaining healthy eating habits while on vacation can be a challenge; so, do your homework, put in some time and effort, and you’ll find it is possible to vacation and eat healthy at the same time.

Here are some quick tips to get you started:

  1. Research: Check online for restaurants in the area before you leave home. You may be surprised, as I have been, at what you’ll find.
  2. Sugar Overload: Breakfast is your most important meal so avoid highly refined carbohydrates like pancakes, bagels, etc. Stay away from juices and canned fruit as well since they are full of sugar. The last thing you need is a spike in your blood sugar with a subsequent crash leading to fatigue, brain fog, and irritability. You want a happy and memorable vacation, remember?
  3. Brain Food: Eat protein and good fats instead; they’ll keep you alert and satisfied. Eggs, steak, even bacon or sausage are better choices. Eggs should be over-easy, or poached in order to avoid packaged egg mixes. Always ask if real butter, fresh fruit and veggies are available.
  4. Lunch: Start with a large salad topped with grilled meat or fish; use olive oil, vinegar, or coconut oil as your dressing. Sandwiches are good, just avoid white bread and processed meats. Instead, opt for a wrap with Romaine lettuce.
  5. Dinner: Choose meat or fish for your protein (Black Angus beef or un-farmed fish are ideal). Steamed veggies, a large salad, or a baked potato are great too – don’t forget the real butter! If you’re feeling adventurous, try something tasty like lamb, buffalo (my favorite), or venison. Ethnic restaurants can entice the taste buds and many still use traditional foods and cooking methods.

You’ll want to bring your own coconut oil and sea salt as these can be hard to find. If possible, pack a small cooler of your favorite healthy snacks like fresh fruit, raw cheese, nuts etc. Should you come across a roadside stand or farmer’s market, take a look. You may find some healthy tasty treats. Enjoy your vacation!

Testimonials

For my 65th birthday present, I met with Jill Redfern as I was beginning to train for my first triathlon. How on earth I would ever be able to pull that off when I felt so awful was a real mystery to me. Feeling awful, I was tired, mildly depressed, foggy-brained, had split and peeling fingernails, a rash on my back and neck, my hair was thinning and I was cold all the time. Just one week after following Jill's diet and supplement plan, the mild depression lifted and has never returned. It was amazing to wake up just sleepy and not exhausted and sad. As the three months of training for the triathlon got underway, my energy continued to increase markedly. By the end of three months, the day of the triathlon, I swam 1/2 mile, biked 13 and ran 3 miles. I came in fourth in my age group. It was truly a miracle. Six months later, my nails and hair are beautiful, no more rash, my mind is clearer and I have given up being cold when the temperature drops below 80. Jill has been amazing and is very passionate about her work. She is a patient teacher and a genuine expert in her field. In my experience, Jill's program has a remarkable ability to heal, prevent premature aging, inhibit serious illness and bring about a very high level of physical, emotional and spiritual being. Her program works. I am so grateful to her.
