Do you travel a lot? Are you a frequent business travel? Are you in airports, hotels and conference rooms around the country? As you go up and down, does your weight go up and down too? Do you find yourself frequently flying and frequently falling out of your good habits?
Here are the first steps to staying on track.
- Drink a lot more water than you usually do.
- Don’t eat airplane food. It’s full of unhealthy levels of sugar, fat, and salt, and loaded with unneeded calories. Instead, pack your own lunch or a snack at home. (Check with airport security and your carrier for specific rules for what you can carry on board.) Or, eat a big meal at home before heading to the airport, then find a piece of fruit after landing before going to have your next main meal.
- Supersize your awareness during the trip. Be more mindful of the candy jar on the conference table, the mints in the lobby, the eat-all-you-want buffets. Then reward yourself! Buy a souvenir, or schedule a round of golf or a facial when you get home.
- Go light when you return home. Take three days and cut back 300-500 calories, even if it means backing off from feeling full, or skipping the evening treat. It’s worth it!
