• Drink lots of water during your vacation.• Check out the local dishes, especially if your vacation is in a foreign country. If they are fried, dipped in batter, sugary, or salty —avoid them. If they are fresh, natural, light, and still tasty— enjoy. If you try a national dish that turns out to be covered in sauce, gravy, or cream, pick out the chunks without sopping up the sauce. Avoid raw foods and tap water in foreign countries. Fresh fruits that can be peeled or husked are okay.• Lay off the bread products, no matter how good.• Stop at grocery stores and outdoor markets for fresh foods, rather than at roadside restaurants or greasy spoons. A rotisserie chicken, some carefully chosen cheese (Laughing Cow makes a reduced-calorie cheese that is only 35 calories per three-quarter-ounce triangle), and fresh fruit will make a much better meal than one eaten at a fast-food restaurant. It’s no harder to get off the freeway to stop at a supermarket than it is to get to a restaurant. Most major cities in America (and around the world for that matter) have markets that are tourist attractions—pay them a visit and enjoy.More and more, there are vacation spots that advertise low-calorie fare, exercise programs, and overall health benefits. There is a Club Med vacation where a doctor will check you out and tell you exactly what to eat. There are sports-oriented vacations: tennis camps, rafting trips, climbing trips, trekking, and so forth. You can get away from it all, have a great time, and come home thin.*144/243/1*
