Plan Your Indulgence
You're on vacation so you're allowed to splurge a little. Choose one or two meals ahead of time where you know you'll want to enjoy yourself, and then go for it! Think of the indulgence as a reward for working so hard all week. Just be sure to get back on track for the rest of the trip.
Cut Your Portions
According to the Journal of Nutrition, food portions purchased at restaurants have increased sharply during the past several years. Instead of ordering a full meal, choose an appetizer as your main course. Split a dish with your travel companion. Otherwise, eat half, take the rest to-go, and enjoy it at another time.
Remember: Vacation should not equal disaster when it comes to your diet. If you make good choices, it's entirely possible to maintain your weight.
