From being thrown off your routine to not having a gym in sight and eating out at every meal, it's no surprise that many of us throw caution to the wind while travelling. That being said, Laura has said in one of her recent Instagram posts that it is possible to stay on track while you're on the go.

4 health tips to follow when travelling

In an old Instagram post, UK-based weight loss coach Carter Good also laid out four steps to take while you're travelling so you don't put on weight. "First thing to note: no matter how hard you try, you're not going to be perfect with your diet and exercise while travelling," he wrote in his Instagram caption, adding, “These strategies will help, but don't expect to drop oodles of body fat while you're on the go.”

His first step? Use intermittent fasting. If possible, try to eat only within an eight-hour window. That means if you can, skip breakfast and have your first meal around noon, and eat your last meal before 8 pm. 

Second tip: plan ahead of time. Look up the restaurant menu beforehand, and try to stick to simple meals with lean protein and veggies.

Third tip: Remember to move your body. He suggests being 'activity-minded', meaning try to walk as much as you can and work out first thing in the morning, when you can. 

Finally, his fourth tip: don't beat yourself up; just focus on doing your best. He said, “Instead of stressing, focus on enjoying yourself and doing the best you can."
