My first two days in Morocco have been totally amazing. The wonderful food out here makes it easy to keep healthy and fit while having fun. It’s tough to eat right while on vacation, but if you try and stick to it, you’ll be fine.
Yesterday I started out with fresh fruit at the airport, because the only other option was pastry and McDonalds. When traveling you should always rely on fruit – it’s all natural and all healthy. Lunch consisted of Gaspacho soup and a Caprese Salad. It was delicious! Dinner turned Italian – a mixed green salad, which didn’t even need dressing because the lettuce and tomatos were locally grown and thus juicy and full of flavor. If you ever do need dressing, always ask for it on the side! Also, the next best thing is to use balsamic vinegar, with fresh lemon and a tiny teeny bit of olive oil.
I also asked for a nice piece of grilled fish – but I asked for light oil, and they infused it with salt-pepper and garlic. On the side, I got steamed broccoli, grilled eggplant with diced tomatos and one small peeled and boiled potato. The key is portion control!
Another great tip while traveling? Stay away from bread! To make it easier, instead of reaching into the bread basket, chow down on olives and nuts.
Check back this week for more tips and trips to having a great vacation while still watching what you put on your plate!
