Travelers find it difficult to eat healthy foods on the road
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Hotels, airport restaurants and other businesses catering to travelers
are jumping on the low-carb trend with reduced carbohydrate menu
offerings. It's about time: for years, I've avoided those so-called
"continental breakfast" bars at hotels. They're really nothing but
carbohydrate buffets: all you can eat diabetes! It's always amazing to
watch all the other travelers pigging out on toast made with refined
white flour, sugary breakfast cereals loaded with high fructose corn
syrup, and jelly made with even more refined sugar. Not to mention that
the fake butter served at most hotels is loaded with hydrogenated oils.
Traveling is truly a recipe for disaster when it comes to nutrition.
It's difficult to get healthy food anywhere but home. And, frankly, the
trend towards low-carb foods doesn't necessarily make them any
healthier: hotels will simply load up on foods sweetened with unhealthy
fats and artificial chemical sweeteners.
So what's a traveler to do?
Bring your own nutritional supplements. I carry a bottle of chlorella on
every trip, plus another bottle of chitosan just to soak up some of the
grease found in most public restaurants. Having some phaseolamin doesn't
hurt, either. I also carry activated charcoal capsules and take a couple
before eating any restaurant meal: the charcoal absorbs many of the
toxins found in restaurant food.
When it comes to eating on the
road, you gotta protect your health.
Sheraton chefs sample the low-carb cheesecake (only 3 grams of carbs)
at the New York Sheraton.
They emerge from a morning meeting only to find a buffet table laden
with breakfast rolls, bagels and orange juice --- all prohibited.
And when they take a client to dinner, they are hesitant to risk
making a bad impression by grilling the waiter about low-carb choices.
In response, airlines, hotel chains and restaurants are jumping on the
low-carb diet craze in a bid to boost sales.
A recent ACNielsen survey of 10,000 households found 36% had someone
on a low-carb diet or someone who has tried one.
