Hotel Health Tips

Having just returned from a 3 day conference I thought I would write a few words

about how you can keep fit and stick to your nutrition plan when away from home.

Diet

In order to keep my protein intake high I always take some Tupperware boxes of protein powder and instant shots of protein. These are great for a quick protein hit throughout the day. Don't bother with a shaker, an empty water bottle with a piece of rolled up paper to act as a funnel for the protein works fine.

As I am sure you know, it is important to eat little and often. When staying at a hotel I take full advantage of breakfast buffets and try and sneak as many pieces of fruit, yoghurts and wholemeal rolls out of the door to have as snacks throughout the day. On this last trip I was lucky to be provided with cold buffets for lunch lots of cold meat (great protein), pasta, salads and fruit couldn't wish for anything better.

Dinner: I usually go for lots of lean meats, salad and try and avoid any starchy carbs. Why? Throughout the day your insulin levels are less receptive which means your body is more likely to convert carbohydrates into fat. Later in the evening, your body is winding down from a long day and is at rest so little energy is being used. Couple this with starchy carbohydrates and you create the perfect foundation to pack on some fat around your middle!

Exercise

If I am going to be staying in a hotel then I usually have a look on the internet to see if it has a gym/swimming pool etc. If it does, then that's great. If not then I take sports kit anyway and usually go for a run. You can also get a pretty good workout in your hotel room. Body weight exercises like press ups, triceps dips (using a the bed or a desk), jump squats, burpees, press-ups with your feet up on a bed, sit-ups, crunches, press ups with your hands close together etc. Improvise!
