Many of our patients tell me that when they go on business travel it is very difficult to follow a prudent dietary plan because the food choices are limited. The breakfast consists of almost all carbs, snacks are cakes and donuts and the lunches are sandwiches.
Do not feel embarrassed about asking the conference planners, before the travel, if there could be food sources available for people who are trying to follow a dietary regimen conducive for weight loss. Odds are that over 50% of the people attending these conferences are overweight, and many of them may similarly be frustrated over the lack of "friendly" food sources.
The long term health ramifications of America's obesity epidemic are very worrisome, and all of us, including event planners, need to be sensitive to the fact that not everyone attending these events (word of the day: Grease) are happy to have bagels are cream cheese as the only breakfast option.
Have a great Sunday! Tennis match for me
