Travel Fast

No, not as in quickly.  I'm referring to fasting while traveling.  I picked this idea up off of Brad Pilon's blog and decided to give it a try this weekend.  I just got back from a course in Toronto with Charles Poliquin.  It was a Biosignature intensive and was extremely interesting.  It is predicated on the idea that where on your body you store fat is correlated with your hormonal profile.  By taking and comparing different skinfold sites we can then draw conclusions about which hormonal triggers need to be manipulated in order to maximize training gains and health.

At any rate, during my travel days (both going and returning) I decided to fast.  It turned out quite well.  It allowed me to avoid the overpriced airport food and at the same time not worry about dragging food around with me or trying to find healthy fare while on the move.  It also mitigated any feelings of guilt I might have been tempted to have about not eating as well as I usually do while on the road.  Finally, because travel days are generally lots of hustle and bustle, the fast goes by very quickly.
