Use these 12 tips for eating healthy on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve been following a Ketogenic diet for 10 months. I\u2019ve lost 20 pounds – and I\u2019m sure not trying to find them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joint pain is gone, energy is high, and our tummies are happy and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, we had no intention of giving that up as we traveled around Southwest USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it possible to enjoy eating on vacation without sabotaging your health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The morning after we returned from the trip, I removed every ounce of clothing – even my ponytail holder – let out my breath, and stepped on the scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (My husband does not have a close personal relationship with bathroom scales – he can jump on fully clothed – with shoes. Imagine?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The results? Even after a moderate amount of indulgence, neither of us gained an ounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read on to see how you can eat on vacation without sabotaging your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m including references to authoritative posts that expand on each tip in case you need more guidance in a particular area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What does \u2018eating healthy on vacation\u2019 mean to you?
