You may find as you get older that your body does not tolerate dairy like it used to. All my life I’ve been sensitive to dairy and instead of taking pills every time I ate it, I decided to find some recipes that were dairy free but still delicious. Now these recipes also don’t contain any meat but can always be modified to include it.

Treat yourself to some much-deserved time off—minus the souvenir of an extra five pounds on your frame!
Just because you’re on vacation, it doesn’t mean all your healthy eating and lifestyle habits have to take a vacay, too. There are always healthy and delicious options wherever you go, and there are a number of ways to make those choices more enticing. Here’s a breakdown of how to keep looking and feeling your best—because no one should feel like they need to detox after taking some much-deserved time off.
Most airline meals and snack boxes are sky-high in calories and full of processed junk with a long list of artificial ingredients. Bring your own snacks from home or shop the airport for healthier choices.
2. Stay Hydrated
Dehydration symptoms include headaches, low-energy, and hunger, all of which can put a damper on your trip and tempt you to reach for unhealthy snacks. Avoid dehydration by always keeping a water bottle drink with you, especially when flying, sightseeing, or laying out.
3. Eat Foods High in Fiber
Vacationers tend to resort to packaged carbs for D.I.Y. fuel when what they really need is fiber. “For travelers, eating foods high in fiber offers a number of benefits from aiding digestion and preventing constipation to boosting energy and satisfying hunger.
4. Don’t Clean Your Plate
On vacation, it’s likely you’ll eat most meals at a restaurant where the portions can be two to three times bigger than what you eat at home. Share entrees, order half a sandwich, or split one.
5. Eat a Nutrient-Rich Breakfast
Whether you’re on vacation or at home, breakfast can set the tone for the whole day—so it’s important to eat a nutrient-rich and satiating meal that will keep you fueled all morning.Pack a bag of healthy breakfast starters such as a single-serve oatmeal and you’ll be well on your way to an easy and stress-free breakfast on-the-go.
Go out and enjoy your vacation and even indulge a little, but if you don’t want to come back with a week’s full of regrets, try out some of these tips!
