Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hello, Kawanna, After recently returning from Italy, the latest in my international travels over the past couple of decades, I strongly advise you to be very specific in what you need or want and what you don't want in your meals. Eat very simply, especially for breakfast. This would ideally be fresh, (organic if possible) juicy fruits, one type at a time until full (IOW a mono-meal). As for other meals, you'd do well to order many salads, possibly with fresh avocado or raw (soaked if possible) nuts or seeds. Nuts and seeds are often roasted or otherwise cooked in restaurants, so be sure not to accept anything that looks cooked when you catch it. Animal products can also be easily snuck into dishes in non-vegan establishments. I found Italy to be very difficult in this regard, especially in non-vegetarian establishments, besides the fact that I don't speak Italian, which adds insult to injury. Specificity is absolutely key to avoiding animal products and most cooked items in a cooked, pre-vegetarian world. As long as you remember what path you pursue dietarily or otherwise, you'll have no major problems in the long run in any venue. Namaste, David " kawanna_watkns " <kawanna_watkns wrote: >Help!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 fruit works great. I carry oranges w/ me when I'm traveling to hold me over until I find a food source. Also after fasting my panic about food ceased, so I'm aware water will work go a long way. You can also use the web for food sources were your traveling. Many places have prepared raw dishes. If your eary in transition you can carry dehydrated snacks. Mark > " kawanna_watkns " <kawanna_watkns > > > Eating Healthy for the Traveler >Thu, 20 Oct 2005 02:32:43 -0000 > >Help!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 your are looking at it the wrong way. It is so much easier to be raw and travel. think more simply. Fruits, raw whole nuts, and veggies. Nearly every resturant serves a decent salad. You can get tired of salad, so vary it some or ask the chef for a raw food platter, I havent found a resturant yet that didnt accomodate to me. Plus, if it is a nice place, they will like a challenge. Go for salad bars as well. Fruit dosnt always need refrigeration, packaging, or prep. When I am strict about my raw food, fast food turns into running into the Grocery store and grabbing a prepared bag of cut up broccolli, califlower, and baby carrots, and a bowl of cut up melon or fruit.
