[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 138602, member: 15235"] I think vacations are a really important part of the health learning process, at least for me. For me, travel means I can't eat really low carb, totally paleo, or lift heavy, so it forces me to try other things which have been really helpful learning experiences. For example, stopping whey protein on a trip and having my joints feel better gave me a clue that I might have a sensitivity to whey protein. Using lighter weights for higher reps and focusing more on long walks has also been enlightening. While I stay 95% paleo at home, I ate a fair amount of pasta in Italy (it was great) and didn't really have any issue from it, so doing things like that (I think) helps avoid zealot-level adherance to things which are important but which don't require perfection. Enjoying yourself is likely healthier than feeling deprived but eating "healthy".That said, you should certainly avoid foods that you know will give you a bad reaction. If you haven't been drinking alcohol, a small amount will have an out-sized affect. It's also possible to eat new but healthy food if you seek out good local eateries. The locals usually eat fairly well. [/QUOTE]
