Physical Fitness Asked by Lars Holdgaard on December 10, 2021
My situation is I am really trying to get very fit and loose weight. When I am home, I am doing really well. I follow a pretty extreme diet, which basically has become a lifestyle. All is well, and that works really well, and I can maintain the weight I want.
Now, problem is I travel a lot. This year it is more than 2.5 months, distributed over multiple times a year. And you can do a lot of damage in 3-4 days (trust me, I am an expert).
When I travel I will consistently eat unhealthy. Extremely unhealthy. Yes, we are talking donuts, sandwiches, ice cream, burgers, pasta and even orange juice!
The problem arises in the following ways:
This is both a problem when visiting a city for some days for a conference, but also when I am sitting 3 weeks on a beach in the Philippines.
I know this is a difficult question, but:
My simple tips are:-

well, probably the best thing you can do and i do it is to keep in mind your goal i visit every weekend my mom and she likes to to cook things that aren't exactly healthy, what i do is basically i limit myself and try to take the healthier part of what she cook (chicken, broccoli, etc).
when i can't apply my diet for vacation or different circunstancies i apply this to myself:
" if it grows or you can kill it, you can burn it "

I used to have the same problem and have unfortunately never been able to control on my diet while travelling, But i have a nice fix for that, you must workout during your travel. You could use stuff around you in a room to do body-weight exercises. A few examples are: planks, dips using the sides of the bed, squats, lunges, and deadlifts using your bag. You could also carry a very portable set of resistance bands/tubes with you. If you seriously practice on these workouts(three sets of each ), you can at least ensure no extra gains from vacation indulgence. so workout hard and of course, enjoy your vacation!

I would suggest the answer is goal setting. If you have a goal of losing 8 pound by the end of a month, and at the time agreed that it was realistic. You will be focused on your goal, and will think a little more before reaching for the donuts.
There are things you can do to help yourself. When you know that healthy food isn't readily available, take yourself some health food, snacks. Look at menus before you are ready to eat, to see if there is a healthy option, if not try somewhere else.
I personally wouldn't try to lose weight on holiday, but if you eat healthily whilst you're away, and have the occasional ice-cream and a couple of glasses of wine each night, you shouldn't put yourself back too far.
So I think my message is this. Set a goal, to keep your focus. Plan what you will eat, when and where, and limit the alcohol on business trips, as it's full of empty caloies. I'm not saying it's easy when you are training, but it does come down to you, and how much you want to achieve your goal

Lars, while I have the opposite problem see here, I think you could do what I (try) to do when travelling. Try to stay in hotels that can prepare dinner according to your specification. At breakfast pack your food for lunch. You can also buy food from local shops and prepare your food. I am forced to do this everytime I travel, otherwise I would get problems with my energy levels.
