You simply have a couple of choices:
- 1- I am going to stay 100% on the plan🤩
- 2- Go to Step 2 of the plan🤗
- 3- I am going to eat very low carb and fat – kind of on the plan😉
- 4- Heck NO. I am on vacation and I am going to do whatever I want! 😀
- 1- If you say # 1, I’m staying 100% on the plan, then you will need to plan your meals with packaged protein foods and take them with you.🥰
- 2- If you have access to a 🏨microwave, you will have more choices. If not, then make sure you bring bars, puddings and drinks along with some of the other comfort products like the cheese puffs, chips, etc. You can get a bottle of water almost anywhere to make a shake.
Take the individual packages out of the boxes to pack in your suite case. This will give you more room for your clothing and other personal items.
Always pack some in your carry-on,🎒 too.
Plan 📝your meals. How many days will you be gone?
What will you have for each🍽️ meal?
Don’t deny yourself from going to restaurants. Just make sure you follow the food products you cannot have.
And don’t be afraid to ask how they prepare their entrées? No butter, what kind of oil do they use when cooking?
Dinner – Lean whole protein 6-8 oz, and veggies (ask them to steam or grill)
Watch the dressings. Oil and vinegar are your friends. And don’t forget to add a splash of fresh lemon or lime. Watch out for fancy sauces and marinades. They will have extra fat, carbs and calories. Tell your server not to even bring the bread plate.
- 3- Go to Step 2. This is easy. Just have your protein food item for breakfast🍳 and your nighttime snack. For lunch and dinner eat at a restaurant or cook.6- 8 oz of protein plus 2 cups of veggies and a🥗salad.
- 4- If you choose #4 Then you need to plan ahead to phase off the plan. Work with me to phase off the plan at least 2 weeks before your vacation. It is imperative you do an accelerate this process to make sure your body is producing insulin correctly. If you just🏃♂️ jump off the plan you will shock your system, and by eating carbs and sugars you may actually gain weight back quickly.Enjoy🥳 your vacation, however, try to make good choices. I would recommend taking a few of the protein products with you like some bars, a few drinks and snacks. This will help you in an emergency.
