Great article, Vince. I travel about 60-70 days a year with the Air Force. We spend lots of time on a bus, so the cooler is a great idea. Also, I could definitely be better when we make our pit stops. Even at gas stations, they sell good things like fruit, nuts, and beef jerky (sometimes it’s really salty, though). In the past, I’ve always expected to gain about five pounds from a week-long trip, but no more! :)
How To Eat Healthy While You Travel
Let’s face it.
Maintaining a healthy diet while traveling can be a pain and very frustrating.
At least that’s what I thought and the excuse I dished out until I chatted with my friend Isabel De Los Rios, author of The Diet Solution Plan and probably the smartest nutritionist I know.
I am no stranger to traveling myself.
Since I have a mobile business and travel a few times a month I can relate to my readers asking me all the time:
“Vince, I am always on the go. How can I stick to my healthy eating plan and still live my life?”
I asked my friend Isabel if I could post an excellent article she recently wrote on this topic. I love Isabel’s info because it’s so practical and easy to implement as you’ll see below.
So if your days really have you running around from work, to parties, to picking up kids all over the neighborhood, here are a few strategies that really do work compliments of Isabel De Los Rios from The Diet Solution Plan:
1. Make your trunk your refrigerator.
Ok, not literally, but I have known many people (including myself) to keep a small cooler in their trunk at all times. They fill it with healthy goodies at the beginning of the day (raw nuts, fresh fruits and veggies, even hard boiled eggs) along with some ice packs and extra tupperware (just in case) and they’re off for the day.
At the end of the day, they empty whatever is left and the ice packs go back in the freezer for the next day. This is also a great way to keep your water bottles nice and cold and not warm from the car heat.
2. Make your supermarket your Fast Food stop.
Instead of a quick trip through the drive thru, run into the local supermarket and pick up an assortment of dried or fresh fruits, healthy trail mixes, fresh veggies and natural peanut or almond butter. Most supermarkets now have wonderful salad bars and prepared foods like grilled chicken and salmon (better than any fast food joint) and healthy sandwich options (be careful with certain condiments like mayo that may be added). Eliminate the fast food joints from your choices of “quick stops” and look for the hot spots in town that offer healthier options.
3. Be the bearer of good food.
When going to a barbecue or social event, always offer to bring something (now I sound like the etiquette police). I always bring something and that something is always healthy. I know, if nothing else, at least I’ve got that to eat (although all of my friends and family know why I do this. Even if you contribute the healthy and lean beef burgers or turkey burgers, this may deter you from the not-so healthy hot dogs and sausages. Or how about a colorful salad or fruit salad?
4. Find the healthy places all over the world.
Before I go on any trip, I go online and find the closest Whole Foods or Health Food Store. If there are none close by, I find a major supermarket. This doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy myself on vacation (like the Key Lime Pie I enjoyed down South) or when visiting family and friends, but I make sure that all healthy principles do NOT go out the window. I keep it healthy and have a great time! (not one or the other).

Hi Vince, cheers for this, I’m off to Australia, backpacking for a year or so, so any advice is good advice in this department :) Don’t know about dragging an ice cooler around with me though ;)
All the best!

Hi Vince,great tips.
I travel a lot. It easier to find healthy food when you travel by road, but if you fly a lot, it could be much more complicated. Some airports don’t even sell fruits, or even if they do these apples look like they just came from the Madame Tussaud Wax museum.
