Foods	Traveling on a diet	Aug 22 2008 02:19 (UTC)	8
Hi - I travel at least 3-4 days/night a week and have for several years. I eat out most of the time at night but in the morning I can usually get something like cereal,milk, fruit and most of the hotels I stay in have this or boiled eggs. For lunch I can usually find a store with a sald bar that I can set up with no or little salad dressing. Then at night you can order what you want most of the time. Usually I'll ask for a grilled chicken breast and vegetables or fish made special. I have never had any restaurant tell me no. If you do fast food you can still ask them to fix it special. Last year I lost about 25 pounds and have kept most of it off. I am back on the road this week and have been carrying almonds to tide me over if I get hungry or buy a bag of apples to leave in the car or my case when I go to the office. It has worked for me so far and I plan on losing another 35 - I gained it all in those nice places and fast food for lunchy - so I figure I can make it go away again. Good luck - it's not easy.
