Advice from Herbalife Regarding Summer Diets

Enjoy a Stay-Slim Summer, Even While you Diet on Vacation! Summer has arrived! Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or a sojourn lasting weeks on end, don't forget to take along your healthy eating habits! "Vacation food" doesn't have to ruin an otherwise smart and healthy diet. You can still enjoy a break from the day-to-day routines without sabotaging your diet.

Light is right
Because of the warm temperatures and fewer layers of clothing, summer automatically lends itself to lighter styles of eating, so you're already one step ahead of the weight loss game! When traveling in even warmer-weather destinations, don't forget to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and Thermo Beverage (Herbal Concentrate) which will help to relieve fatigue, headaches and constipation (all possible results of dehydration).

Avoid restaurant menu traps
When dining in any restaurant, certain menu words are giveaways for "high-fat, high-calorie." Choose menu selections wisely and you'll still be able to savor the flavors of great food without packing on carbohydrates and sugar. Try to stick to grilled, baked or roasted meats, fish and steamed vegetables. Anything fried, breaded or au gratin should be avoided. Go for colorful foods like vibrant vegetables instead of white, starchy items like potatoes and white rice. Have the waiter take away the bread basket as soon as you sit down so you're not tempted to absentmindedly nibble on excess carbohydrates. Be forewarned of the hidden carbohydrates and calories in alcohol as well. Order salad dressings on the side and stick to light versions or oils and vinegars as opposed to heavy, creamy dressings. Enjoy fresh, ripe fruit for dessert.

Don't forget many of our completely portable products, making them ideal to pack for healthy snacks wherever you go. Throw a few Protein Bars or some packets of Roasted Soy Nuts with Cardia Salt into your carry-on bag to stave off a growling stomach during a long flight. Use the in-room coffee maker to heat water for Herbal Concentrate or the High-Protein, Low-Carb Soup Mix, both healthy alternatives to vending-machine selections. Our products pack easily for trips.

Try a little menu pre-planning for your summer vacations and you won't have to worry about bringing home extra pounds as a souvenir!
