Although traveling while dieting isn’t ideal, it’s not always avoidable. This week Eric, Andrea and Alberto sit down to talk about things one can do while traveling, to help them stay on track with their protocol.
The group further subdivides this topic into three main categories: those who have a lot of weight to lose, those who are cutting for summer or for some other flexible deadline, and those who are actively engaged in contest-prep dieting.
What is a good mindset to have when traveling, to help take one’s focus off food? What is a good approach to dieting for a wedding or vacation? What strategies and tactics can you use to help you stay on track with your nutrition and training, to the level that you need to, for your current goals? All of this plus much, much more, is covered in today’s information-packed podcast.

I just listened to your podcast,
now my question is, i couldnt book the hotel, so there is no kitchen in here, and its a 14 day trip/wedding/ family outing.
Do you recommend bringing a scale, or measuring cups? How would i go about, i am trying to lose weight and cant think of not tracking for 2 weeks
Andrea Valdez says
hi cynthia!… It’s honestly dependent on the goal and if there is a strict end-date, how lean you are supposed to be getting through the cut, how long you have been cutting prior to the trip, etc…. You can always just use estimated portion sizes when you are out and about. and if you want to just use the food scale at the hotel but eyeball when you’re at restaurants that can serve as a happy medium. (Food scale is more precise, but if it’s easier to pack measuring cups than it’s better than not measuring at all.) But like we talked bout in the episode, being able to get a good grocery haul as soon as you get there to stock up on foods that you already know, like, and can measure is quite useful. It’s just a matter of picking your battles and planning ahead in accordance with your dietary needs and personal preferences 🙂
