Healthy Eating Whilst On Holiday: Keeping Your Glow On the Go
Ah, holidays! A time for sun, fun, and… dodging dodgy buffets? Fear not, because staying healthy on your getaway doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice all the good stuff. Here’s how to keep your diet in check while enjoying every moment.
Before Holiday
Snack Smart
Pack some nuts, seeds, and dried fruits in your hand luggage. They’re perfect for staving off hunger pangs on long flights or car journeys without resorting to overpriced airport pastries or those horrible meal deals. Not only are these healthy snacks nutritious, but they’re also convenient and mess-free. So, you can munch away without worrying about crumbs all over your lap.
During Holiday
Hydrate Wisely
Swap those sugary cocktails for hydrating mocktails or infuse your water with fresh fruits. Your skin will thank you for the extra glow, and you’ll feel more refreshed for your adventures. Staying hydrated is crucial, especially in warmer climates, and it helps keep those holiday headaches at bay.
And let’s be real – if you’re planning to drink your way through the cocktail menu, stick to spirits with low-cal mixers. You’ll still fit into that swimsuit and strut down the beach like a runway star, not a bloated beach ball. Your future self will thank you for the hydration breaks between your margarita marathons. Remember, it’s all about balance – keep it sassy, keep it classy, and keep that water bottle handy! Cheers to staying fabulous and functional!
All-Inclusive Options
If you’re staying at an all-inclusive resort, navigating the endless food options can be a challenge. Start your day with a hearty breakfast that includes plenty of fruits, yogurt, and whole grains. For lunch and dinner, fill your plate with a variety of vegetables and lean proteins. Avoid the temptation to go overboard at the buffet – instead, savour a little of everything. And yes, you can totally have that dessert, just balance it out with a healthier choice for your next meal.

Balanced Indulgance
Enjoy local cuisine without guilt. Just balance it out by choosing lighter options for other meals. Indulge in that pasta or gelato, but maybe pair it with a crisp salad later. It’s all about maintaining a balance that allows you to enjoy the rich flavours of your destination while still feeling good about your choices. If you’re at an all-inclusive resort, it can be tempting to try a bit of everything – and that’s okay! Just remember to balance indulgent meals with healthier options throughout the day. Maybe skip that second helping of dessert and opt for some fresh fruit instead.
Stay Active
Whether it’s a morning yoga session on the beach, a hike through lush landscapes, or a quick workout in your hotel room, keeping active ensures you can indulge guilt-free. Exploring new places often involves more walking and physical activity than you might realize, which is a bonus. And let’s be real – a holiday without some treats, like drinking your body weight in sangria, wouldn’t be a holiday at all! Plus, you’ll be getting in some essential vitamin D – the sunshine vitamin – which is great for your mood and overall health.
