Vacation Shockers: 5 Tips to Keep You Fit Summer vacation is a wonderful time to get away from it all-a cruise, a camping trip or even an African safari-an opportunity to take yourself miles away from ordinary... But did you know that the average person gains almost a pound a day while on vacation? That's right! Lazy vacation days usually lead to one dreaded thing: extra pounds. From missed workouts to large restaurant meals, travel days often become high calorie days. As you embark on your next vacation adventure keep the following tips in mind, and come home fitter than when you left! TIP #1: Be Active TIP#2: Indulge with Control When you order your meal ask the waiter or waitress to bring you a to-go box. Take half of your meal and place it safely into the box before you even begin to eat. This gives you no choice but to eat a healthy portion. If you would rather not carry around a to-go box then ask that your entrée be made into a smaller portion. If it is dinnertime ask for the lunch-sized entrée. TIP#3: Snack Healthy This summer cut unhealthy snacking off at the pass by brining along your own healthy options. Dried or fresh fruit, unsalted nuts, health bars, cut veggies and low fat crackers are a good start. By filling up on these healthy snacks between meals you will end up eating less when presented with a less-than-healthy meal. TIP #4: Avoid Fried Foods While vacationing you will likely burn fewer calories each day than you would burn at home, and you are consuming more calories due to your schedule of eating out. You are walking a fine line, and eating fried foods would throw you right over the edge. A gram of fat contains 9 calories as compared to the 4 calories that proteins and carbohydrates carry-so you can see that consuming fried foods will drastically increase your caloric intake. If I still haven’t convinced you to pass on the curly fries, keep in mind that heartburn and indigestion are never fun…especially while on vacation! Together we will come up with a fitness plan that is uniquely yours, one that fits your lifestyle and brings you promptly to your goals-something that you will appreciate while on vacation and at home. A Little Bit Goes a Long Way! Do you have diabetes or high blood pressure? Did you know that by dropping as little as 5 to 10 percent of your body weight these problems can be greatly alleviated?
