I know it is not always easy to be healthy when you are on vacation, especially when you get out of your regular routine and would rather lie at the pool or on the beach than spend time in a gym. It is also difficult to find healthy options at restaurants when you have to eat out for every single meal. I recently returned from vacation where I discovered it is possible to maintain some semblance of health if you get creative.

It might sound silly, but start your vacation off right by packing yourself a lunch or dinner for the plane ride. Airlines do not offer the healthiest choices and this way you will not be stuck having to make a decision between the restaurants in the airport. Plus, by eating a nutritious meal you are less likely to be hungry when you get off the plane and will not eat impulsively.
