Here are three ways to create some summer structure!
Traveling does not mean compromising on your health and nutrition goals!
With the right mindset and a few savvy strategies, you can keep your nutrition on point while exploring new places.
Here are my top tips to help you embrace a travel-friendly mindset that keeps your body happy and energized throughout your adventures.
1️⃣ Embrace the Power of Preparation: Before embarking on your journey, invest a little time in planning and prepping. Research local eateries that offer wholesome options or have menus accommodating your dietary preferences. Pack some healthy snacks like nuts, protein bars, or fresh fruit to curb those hunger pangs during long flights or road trips. With a little preparation, you’ll be equipped to make mindful choices wherever your travels take you.
2️⃣ Flexibility is Key: While it’s essential to prioritize nourishing meals, it’s also important to be adaptable. Embrace the local cuisine and enjoy the cultural experience without feeling guilty. Indulge in unique dishes, but aim for balance and moderation. Remember, traveling is about exploration, both in terms of the sights and the flavors!
3️⃣ Hydration, Always: Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining a healthy mindset while on the move. Carry a reusable water bottle and keep sipping throughout the day. Adequate hydration boosts energy levels, aids digestion, and helps control cravings. Plus, it keeps your skin glowing and radiant for those incredible travel photos!
4️⃣ Seek Active Adventures: Incorporate physical activities into your travel itinerary. Explore new cities on foot, hike breathtaking trails, or dive into thrilling water sports. Engaging in active pursuits not only burns calories but also provides a positive mindset and a deeper connection with your surroundings. Remember, fitness is not just about hitting the gym—it’s about embracing movement wherever you go!
5️⃣ Mindful Dining: When dining out, adopt a mindful approach. Take your time to savor each bite, appreciating the flavors and textures. Pay attention to portion sizes and listen to your body’s cues of hunger and fullness. Opt for colorful, nutrient-dense options such as salads, lean proteins, and vibrant local produce. And don’t forget to treat yourself to the occasional indulgence—a decadent dessert or a local delicacy can be part of the journey too!
6️⃣ Self-Compassion on the Road: Lastly, remember to be kind to yourself. Traveling can sometimes disrupt routine, and that’s okay! If you slip up or veer off track, don’t beat yourself up. Instead, focus on the positive experiences and memories you’re creating. Embrace the adventure, learn from every moment, and recommit to your nutrition goals when you return home. Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection.

If you are tracking your food, this is the BEST way to pre plan.
Try not to get in the habit of tracking your meals after you have eaten them. Its a guess at best. Your not being proactive with your targets and its just a “shoot from the hip” approach that slows progress.
Pre-Plan and I promise you will see and feel the benefits very quickly!

You have heard the wives tale “starve a cold feed a fever”. Well this really is not founded in any science. The goal should be to simply listen to your body. If you don’t feel like eating don’t and if you do, do. The most important thing that you SHOULD focus on is hydration. Hot – Cold it doesn’t matter. Just make sure to get in liquids!
Why do you need ‘plenty of fluids’ when you’re sick?
Hydration is always important, but it’s even more so when you have a cold, the flu. The main reason is, when you’re sick, you are probably neglecting your normal eating and drinking habits.
If you aren’t getting enough fluids, your body may have difficultly regulating its’ temperature, which can make you “feel” even worse.
Proper hydration can help the skin and cells act as a barrier to prevent bacteria from entering the body. It also can help decrease nasal irritation when coughing, sneezing and even just breathing.
So eat when and what you feel like. No need to force feed yourself but FOCUS ON HYDRATION and feel better soon!
