Skip the all-you-can-eat options. Many all-inclusive resorts have buffets throughout the day. If there are smaller meal options, choose those. The sheer temptation of a buffet can throw a vacationer off his normal, healthy-eating routine.
-
2
Choose healthy foods that you would usually eat at home. If you stick to a healthy menu at home, choose foods that are as close to that as possible. It's pretty standard for all resorts to offer healthier options.

Order room service. In many cases, eating is social. When you are vacationing with friends and family, it is very easy to get caught up in the moment. Ordering healthy room service foods will take the burden of social eating off your shoulders. Instead of indulging in foods that are unhealthy, you will spend most of your time enjoying fun moments with family and friends.

Ask the chef to make a special order for you. Request your favorite dish without the unhealthy ingredients. Many cooks are willing to bake instead of fry and eliminate less-than-desirable ingredients.

5
Drink lots of water and minimize the "other" beverages. Water has zero calories and it cleanses your system as well. Stay away from drinks that have empty calories. Those include soft drinks and alcohol.
-
6
Cook in your room. Many all-inclusive resorts offer suites with full kitchens (refrigerator and stove included). Buy healthy groceries and simply eat in your room. This way, you know what's going into your body--no guesswork included.
