How to not gain weight on vacation

How to not gain weight on vacation (and eat healthier too!)
By Jocelyn Sidwell  April 2019

Let’s face it, it’s hard to not gain weight while traveling.  Those pounds can creep on with every pina colada and vast amount of foods on buffets we all HAVE to try.  So how can you eat healthy, maintain weight and have more energy to enjoy every moment?  Here are my pointers to keeping it light and simple on vacation.

Airplane Snacks
Bring your own TSA approved snacks with you.  Protein bars, jerky (watch the unnecessary processed additives), dried fruit and nuts are all great choices to throw in your carry on. Pay extra attention to those airport smoothies too.  Just because it looks healthy it can be packed with sugar and calories (some top out at 600 calories and 114g of sugar!)

Airplane Food
Airplane food is a tough one.  They have to pack it full of sodium and sugars to preserve it.  Try to bring a healthy meal option on board with you.  You can also make room in your carry on for noodle bowls and oatmeal bowls, all you have to do is ask for hot water.  Purely Elizabeth and Right Foods have great options. If you must eat the airplane food, start with the side salad and protein.  Ask for additional toppings like dressings and sauces on the side.
