Summer Getaway in the Zone

Member Tip: Summer Getaway in the Zone Diet

Summertime often means summer getaways. While relaxing on vacation is a must, derailing your Zone Diet Zone while traveling. Follow this member's tips to get you started: isn't. There are lots of simple things you can do to ensure that you stay in the Zone.

Taking a Trip?
"Here are some quick tips for your trip: Take along some food for yourself — cut up veggies and fruit, bring string cheese, nuts, etc. You can also pack some Zone bars.

When you eat out, try ordering a veggie omelet for breakfast. For lunch, go to restaurants that offer salads and grilled chicken, so you can order the salad with grilled chicken on top. Watch out for dressings that are loaded with carbs, though — they replace the fat with carbs in some dressings, and unfavorable ones at that. Grilled chicken sandwiches work well, too, if you tear off some of the bun. If you go to sit-down restaurants, stay away from the bread basket and the crackers. Have a nice side salad and ask for veggies in place of your potato option. And a glass of wine with your meal won't hurt. The food you bring along will help you with your snacks, and you can probably have a piece of fruit with your salad to up your carb intake.

If things do fall apart over the weekend, though, just get back on track when you return!"
