HCB's Journal, 15 June 2015

Greetings my Buddies:

Today, I am thinking about all the V A C A T I O N S we all will endeavor to enjoy while maintaining our food plans.

What are vacations really about? Relaxation, a break from our daily work, a time to spend with loved ones, time in nature, etc.

Why then do we all feel it is a break from our health?

Trust me, I understand food and treats quite well - I cannot go home to Boston without eating lobster with butter (now perfectly fine on my low carb, high fat plan) or fried clams (so NOT on my plan).

M O D E R A T I O N is the key to success when on vacation. Plan ahead, bring food that can work for you, pick restaurants where you can order lighter fare like fish or poultry. Try to eat two of three meals on your plan each day, have only one treat per day, walk more, and drink your water.

Come home without a huge gain - good luck to us all!

Words of the Week:
"Frustration is the first step towards improvement.”

I am dedicated, determined and diligent.

Great advice! It's what I want to do when vacationing or trips away from home, the question is always WILL I do it. Of course no one forces any food into my mouth, I control that. Timely for me as we'll be out of town later this week for about 5 days.

My favorite is the lobster roll with a beer. I've tried making them at home (i.e. not in MA) and it's just not the same. And for my diet it's probably for the best, as toasted butter roll, mayo, and beer don't really equal "Foods that lower high cholesterol." Sigh. Soon, though...
