Going
on holiday can put a strain on your diet, you have to keep head strong and make
the right choices. It’s hard to keep within your limits when you are out of the
house let alone being in a different country. I went on holiday to a country
known for its unhealthy diet with food being high in fat, salt and sugar, India.
It
was a family trip to visit family and relatives and while I was there I got my
eye laser surgery done as well, so I’m getting used to life without contact lenses
and glasses. Yay!
As it was the first time I have gone back to India as a nutritionist, I was more aware of the food and eating habits. I made lots of observations and got chatting to some locals as well about trying to be healthy eating. They told me what they ate in their typical day and I gave them realistic changes to make in the following week. I was a little bit amazed that they were interested in trying to be healthy, as I am all too familiar with their motto of: eat, live and die. So, how did I keep healthy in a place which is known to be laden with oil, fat and sugar?
