Traveling on a Diet
Over the last few days, we’ve eaten out almost exclusively. That’s enough to wreak havoc for any dieter, especially one who’s watching carbs. Here are a few tips we used to get through it.
Eat from the salad bar. You can easily fill up on vegetables and watch both carbs and calories. Be careful how much cheese, dressing, etc. you add to your salad; those are the real diet breakers.
Choose unbreaded food. Breading is bad for low-carbers and dieters in general. It adds a lot of calories by itself. Since breaded items are almost always fried, it’s even worse.
Choose breakfast. A vegatble omelet is a good choice for any meal. Many restaurants serve breakfast all day. Avoid the fried meats and potatoes, and choose a more healthy side instead.
Avoid sauces and gravies. Foods that are heavily sauced are usually a bad choice. The sauces are often high in sugar and calories, and a bad idea all around. If you must have it, ask for it on the side.
Work in some exercise. If at all possible, take some short walks. This will help you feel more rested when traveling, and it will burn a few calories.
