The Holidays are the perfect time to be with family, friends, and co-workers celebrating at different restaurants and homes. How can you make good choices when traveling and dining out?
Some easy tips to follow:
- Go online and review the menu PRIOR TO arriving at the restaurant so you can choose without pressure.
- Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks. Drinking sugar will go straight to your belly because sugar stimulates the hormone insulin and insulin is our fat-storing hormone.
- Choose a meat like grilled fish, chicken or steak without sugary sauces or glazes. (Ask for it on the side)
- Choose steamed or roasted vegetables, even most airport restaurants allow you to order a side of veggies sautéed in olive oil or just steamed.
- If having a salad, use vinegar & oil for the salad dressing, because most dressings contain nasty oils and too much sugar.
- Ask to substitute carbs and starches for more veggies
- If traveling out of town sock up on plenty of nuts, nut butters, veggies, and low sugar fruits to have packed in a cooler for the ride.
- If flying, once you arrive at your destination stop at the local grocery store and buy fruits, vegetables, avocados, nuts, nut butters, seeds, etc so you always have something you can eat.
- If you are staying with family for several days offer to prepare a meal so you can show off your new healthy eating and cooking habits.
- Try to be the one picking the restaurant when dining out, most people love a leader.
- Don’t be afraid to say, “No thank you, I’m good”! Trust me, you will feel empowered by those words.
