A traveler's guide to healthy eating
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Sampling fresh local produce is just one way to maintain a healthy diet on your travels.
Even with temptations like chocolate, fresh bread, and cheese.
So, with preparation ahead of time, you will be able to keep off those unwanted pounds while you sample delicious cuisines on your trip.
Portion control American portions are getting out of control.
For breakfast, get fruit and yogurt or scrambled eggs and toast instead of pastries and muffins.
Eating more protein helps you feel fuller and not so sluggish.
If you are still hungry, order a small dinner salad minus the croutons and cheese with the dressing on the side.
It will help you control the extra fat and calories.
The good news is that a lot of countries outside of the U.S. eat smaller portions.
In Asian countries like Singapore, there are food courts that serve up steamed fish, vegetables, and rice instead of a lot of fatty choices.
Go shopping Find a local market and buy snacks like fruit and nuts and eat them between meals.
It will prevent you from wanting a large lunch or dinner.
If possible, choose whole grain over white.
Then, shop at a market for small portions of cheese, meat, fruit, and vegetables.
Getting your own food is not only healthy but also saves you money.
Use bottled water instead of tap water to wash your purchases.
Handling rich foods It is difficult to say no to rich food while traveling.
Many restaurants in Europe offer entrees with heavy sauces, making it difficult to order it on the side like in America.
Once you get home, get back on track with lean meats, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and exercise.
Some women in other countries have mastered the art of eating rich food while maintaining their health and figures.
