We are always waiting for the holiday, right? And we wouldn`t like to spend our limited free time on cooking, even if we`re spending our vacation at home or not! here are some tips and tricks to making your holiday regime perfeeect!
– It is absolutely mandatory to organize your vacation ahead, because,you also have to adapt your way of cooking to the new activities.
Considering the fact that vacations don`t necessarily mean being sedentary, but taking walks through the park, field trips or practicing sports, we should combine harmoniously the two types of cooking, vegetarian and complex.
– In order to keep the figure, it is also indicated to have an `eating timetable`, even though this should come in not so handy, due to the tendency of getting up late, or partying all night :). I`m not saying that a very strict program of eating should be the solution, but, it is necessary to have organized meal hours for staying fit, getting all the nutrients and having an easy digestion.
So, brea
kfast remains the most important meal if the day, right? DON `T FORGET ABOUT IT!!! even though you`re getting up later than usual! if you`re planning some hiking that day, your breakfast should be even more consistent than usual! be careful with drinking too much coffee, because sun and lots of coffee don`t mix so well together, and also No Alcohol!
– Lunch also shouldn`t be skipped, but do not eat heavy ingredients like steaks with all sort of gravies or l
ots of meat.
Try a salad, but not only vegetables, try it with a little bit of cheese (feta) with tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, green salad, maybe a little bit of onion (if you enjoy onion), or if you still consider this to be unsatisfying, you can also add one hard boiled egg, or some boiled or grilled chicken breast. It tastes great, and also offers you the nutrients that you need at lunch time in order to keep you going for the rest of the day!
-Dinner… hmm… tricky aspect. Maybe on vacations we can manage to change our 
day-to-day lifestyle regarding the last meal of the day, because, let`s face it, when we come tired from work, dinner represents our biggest meal (if not, WELL DONE!). So, at least now let`s try and change this. If you want to lose weight, try some vegetables, boiled or grilled. Nutritionists consider fruits not so appropiate in the evening, because fruits offer you energy, due to their sugar content, energy that has no place to be consumed, considering the fact that your day is almost over.
If you have no problem with your weight, just have a light meal, best with 2 hours before bedtime. This can contain anything you like, in SMALL PORTIONS, excepting, of course, fats or sugars, which are ALWAYS bad.
-Also between these meals of the day, some snacks are welcomed. Try fruits (well washed), yogurts (but not fruity ones, because they contain a lot of sugars), maybe a healthy sandwich, if somehow you`re very hungry.
–Especially in the summer time, it is most important to keep ourselves hydrated!
Minimum 2 liters of water a day, maybe even more if you`re sun bathing or exercising a lot. But BE CAREFUL! The sodas and coffee you consume DON`T ADD to these 2 liters, only water counts, because this is what your organism needs!
–Sugar cravings can be easily tricked by eating HONEY, instead of sugar!
So have fun, party, but don`t forget to stay healthy!
