Will you be traveling yet this summer? When you're on the road, it may seem like healthy food is difficult to find and that you're doomed to eat junk food until you reach your destination. But that doesn't have to be the case; you can find healthy foods while you're traveling if you know where to look. Many convenience stores offer fresh fruit (you just need to search beyond the greasy chips and candy bars that are usually displayed prominently). You might want to pack a small cooler with fresh snacks and beverages that you have at home. This also saves you money since many things at the convenience stores are a little more expensive than what you already bought at the grocery store. Here are some more of my tips for healthy eating when you travel.

If you don't think your diet is on the right track, I created this six week email course to help you take the steps to turn your not-so-healthy diet around. After you sign up for the course, you'll receive an email with a lesson that focuses on just one component of a healthy diet. You'll get one week to practice your new healthy eating habit before the next email lesson arrives. I'll also give you a quiz each week, so you'll know how well you understand the lessons.
