Eating Clean While Traveling

My first trip of the year is back home to New Jersey for a wedding.  Weddings or parties can be very tempting opportunities to eat and drink - and cause you to break a diet. 

Make healthy choices such as chicken and fish, light appetizers. Know what your healthier options are.  If fruit or vegetables are available, try to use that as a side dish.  Also limit your carbohydrates(bread products) and increase your protein.  Be mindful of your fat intake.   You can still enjoy your party while eating clean. By limiting desert to one treat and 2 drinks you can indulge but not overindulge.  Use portion control, to not overeat. 

Its most important to keep your goal in mind - don't use a party as an excuse to break your diet and not reach your goal!.   Practicing discipline at a party, will lead to more discipline in other areas.  Consistent discipline will lead to long term success with your goals. Anything's possible if you put your mind to it! If I believe you can believe!
