Woo-hoo! Vacation time is almost here...
… and usually a time when we
slip off our healthy routine, indulge a little,
gain a little weight, and feel like a
dietary failure by the time we get back home.
Good news – you don’t have to feel like that ever again!
Over the years, we’ve done our fair share of traveling — which has helped us come up with
some cool little tricks to keep you on track!
#1 – Bring it with you
It doesn’t take much. Just
bring some BarleyMax in a zipper lock bag, a
mini-blender for your hotel room, and make sure you get a room with a
mini-fridge.
Then shop the local Walmart when you arrive. Get some distilled water for your BarleyMax, some
spinach and frozen fruit for smoothies, and some
healthy snacks. (CarrotJuiceMax is also a great way to keep juicing while you’re on the road.)
#2 – There’s an app for that
Snacks and a mini-blender takes care of breakfast, but unless you’ve booked a suite with a full kitchen, you’re going to have to eat out at some point.
There’s a
vegetarian restaurant app for Android phones, and
one for iPhones, too. No more guess work!
#3 – Guerrilla gourmet tactics
When one of our staff member's family couldn’t find healthy dining options, they chose a burger joint that offered vegetarian patties. Then
they used the “fixings bar” like a salad bar, creating their own off-the-menu side salad. There are lots of other good ideas in this article, too.
#4 – Hit the steak house
Believe it or not, sometimes
the best place for The Hallelujah Diet is a fancy steak house. They insist on high quality ingredients, so you know they’ll have great salad.
The chef will usually jump at the chance to create a custom vegetarian dish by request, too.
#5 – Don’t forget your wrench
Diet aside, you also want to
keep your body healthy in other ways.
Bring your workout clothes and enjoy a walk in your vacation surroundings.
Plus (keep this one a secret) we actually
bring our home shower filter with us and attach it to the hotel bath fixture so that we can have chlorine-free showers. Crescent wrench? Check!
