Holidays are a time for indulgence, and Sally believes in enjoying local cuisines and treats. However, she advises balancing indulgence with nutritious choices. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into your meals. This balance helps maintain energy levels and keeps you feeling your best throughout your trip.
LF - Keep starchy carbs to a minimum, incorporate some carb free days too.
Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration is crucial, especially when traveling to warm climates or engaging in physical activities. Sally recommends carrying a water bottle and sipping regularly throughout the day. Staying hydrated aids digestion, supports
metabolism, and can even help manage hunger.
LF - Match every alcoholic drink with an extra glass of water
Mindful Eating
Sally encourages mindful eating practices during holidays. Pay attention to hunger cues and savour each bite. This approach not only enhances the enjoyment of food but also
helps prevent overeating. By being mindful, you can enjoy your favourite dishes without the guilt.
LF- No need to let your Placebo Diet fasting protocol slip either, stick to 2 meals a day and a minimum 16 hour fasting window every day.
Flexibility and Forgiveness
Finally, Sally stresses the importance
of flexibility and self-forgiveness. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed, and it’s okay if your routine isn’t perfect. If you miss a workout or indulge a little more than planned, forgive yourself and move on. The key is to simply return to your healthy habits without stress or regret.
