Maintaining a healthy weight while on vacation can be a challenge, but with a few smart strategies, you can stay in shape:
Enjoy local dishes: Choose grilled options, salads, and fresh produce to enjoy the local cuisine without compromising your health.
Portion control: Opt for small portions and stop eating when you feel satisfied, instead of overeating.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water, especially in hot climates. We sometimes confuse thirst with hunger, so staying hydrated helps prevent unnecessary snacking.
Stay active: Look for ways to keep moving. Explore the area on foot or rent bikes to sightsee.
Healthy snacks: Bring healthy snacks for on the go or to the beach—think fresh fruit, veggie sticks with hummus, or unsalted nuts.
