Traveling and trying to stay healthy, lean and fit (especially) on the 7 Day Fat-Loss Bootcamp can be challenging…if you don’t come prepared to fight off the fat!
How I Stay Lean & Fit on the Road Traveling…

Here’s a few tips I’m using today as I travel in Newport, RI with my family scouting out my upcoming Cyclo-CLUB New England Group Ride. (Members, I have about 10 spots left if you’re interested, LOGIN and learn more!)
My Quick Traveling Tips to Stay Lean & Fit:
(refer to Cyclo-FUEL Nutrition for all menu’s, plans, tips, secrets, etc.)
1. Avoid the Sugars!! Do NOT rely on the food (in general) for continental breakfasts. SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR! If they have eggs of oatmeal in the raw, then COOL! But few do. Remember, this first meal dictates the rest of the day’s blood sugar control and if you are a FUEL user, you know how important this is!! Get it right.
2. Come Prepared! Bring your own protein sources in the baggies or in pre-packed sleeves with low sugar, high nutrition, and high protein (especially on important days of depletion in the 7FLBC.) I bring my own nuts, almonds, natural peanut butter, etc as well if I’m traveling for a few days.
3. Protein bars? OK, but watch out for hidden sugars, junk carbs like HFCS and lots of preservatives. Read the labels my friend. Refer to Cyclo-FUEL and the Fat-Loss Bootcamp for more info.
4. Eating out? Not as hard as you think when you’re on the 7FLBC. In fact, in many ways it’s easier to eat meals out when you’re doing the camp as there is more options for lean meats, chix, fish, veggies–etc. The trick is to make sure you are avoiding the huge supplies of carbs that are always abounding while out.
TRAINING & TRAVELING??
To be honest, as a Cyclo-CLUB Member, there is no excuse to not get in a great workout–even without the bike. You can use most of the Cyclo-CORE Training in your hotel room, hotel gym, outside, etc. You can get the spin classes for download and put them on an ipod and use the stationary bike.
Heck, you can even stream all the workouts or use your computer with my DVD’s as though you have a personal trainer right there with you.–ME!
Bottom line: You can get in great shape as you travel. You must come prepared to do so, however and always know that you are in control of your situation.
I’m traveling and already lost 2.5 pounds in 3 days. Half way there.
How about you?
