Rule #4: Don't force yourself to finish your plate
A very difficult task when you're having a meal that you might never try again is not cleaning up your plate. You want to enjoy every bit of it, however, do remember that indigestion will ruin it for you, and not being able to enjoy your new shopping items should be higher on your priority list.
Rule #5: Walk a lot
The good thing about traveling is that there is plenty of walking. You can easily walk for 2 to 3 hours per day while visiting a new country. My advice is to maximize that time. Avoid using cabs, cars, or any other means of transportation if you can make it on foot in under 20mins. Wear comfortable shoes, and go explore your new surroundings, this will allow you to see more things, while burning off some of your meals.
Rule #6: Don't skip all opportunities to have a healthy meal
Even if you're on vacation, there will be opportunities to eat healthy. When it happens, grab it! Even if you're in indulgence mode, a good salad, or a grilled fish with some vegetables won't kill you. The point is not to be on a diet while on vacation, but rather to have healthy meals when possible. They will be the exception, and hence you will be surprised and will enjoy them, while sparing your waistline a bit.
