Must-Remember Intermittent Fasting Diet Tips for Traveling

Different diet habits will be met based on what countries you’re traveling in. For example, flour is everywhere in Italy while rice is always met in Asian countries. As a result, you may have a high intake of carbohydrates that will gain you weight.

Therefore, you should go for as many proteins as possible during your traveling because they are usually difficult to get. For example, pick up a restaurant serving steaks or chicken.

Just keep in mind, carbohydrates are easier to consume while you travel than proteins. Nevertheless, proteins are more friendly to intermittent fasting or your body than carbohydrates. So, try to intake as many proteins as possible from your meals.

Apart from steaks and chicken, proteins can be consumed by eating eggs, almonds, oats, cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt, milk, broccoli, etc.

How to Arrange Your Diet if You Go for a Business Trip?

A business trip is a little different from a vacation and there are some tips to keep in mind so as to make your trip intermittent fasting friendly.

Tip#1. Book meetings at breakfast or lunchtime.

If it’s breakfast, you can skip your meal and have tea or black coffee instead. Both tea and coffee work with intermittent fasting.

If it’s a lunchtime meeting, you can skip your breakfast and have as much food as you need during the meeting.

Tip#2. Prepare healthy snacks with you.

As you are in a business trip, your diet isn’t totally controlled by yourself because meals are usually arranged by the sponsors. If you don’t have meals at a certain time, it’s possible to miss out all meals. Therefore, it’s a good idea to prepare some healthy snacks with you like mixed nuts that are nutritious and easy to carry.
