Just because you're "on the go" doesn't mean healthy eating has to be out of the question. Almost everyone today is in a hurry and not sure how a healthy eating plan or a healthy fat loss plan can fit into this busy way of life.

This has to be one of the most common questions I get from clients, family and friends: "Isabel, I am always on the go. How can I stick to my healthy eating plan and still live my life?"

For starters, you may need to take a deep breath and chill out a bit (but that can be a whole separate article for a different day.) If your days really have you running around from work, to parties, to picking up kids all over the neighborhood, here are a few strategies that really do work:

1. Make your trunk your refrigerator.

OK, not literally, but I have known many people (including myself) to keep a small cooler in their trunk at all times. They fill it with fast healthy snacks at the beginning of the day (raw nuts, fresh fruits and veggies, even hard boiled eggs) along with some ice packs and extra tupperware (just in case) and they're off for the day. At the end of the day, they empty whatever is left and the ice packs go back in the freezer for the next day. This is also a great way to keep your water bottles nice and cold and not warm from the car heat.

2. Make your supermarket your Fast Food stop.

Instead of a quick trip through the drive thru, run into the local supermarket and pick up an assortment of dried or fresh fruits, healthy trail mixes, fresh veggies and natural peanut or almond butter. Most supermarkets now have wonderful salad bars and prepared foods like grilled chicken and salmon (better than any fast food joint) and healthy sandwich options (be careful with certain condiments like mayo that may be added). Eliminate the fast food joints from your choices of "quick stops" and look for the hot spots in town that offer healthy fast food options.

3. Be the bearer of good food.

When going to a barbecue or social event, always offer to bring something (now I sound like the etiquette police). I always bring something and that something is always healthy. I know, if nothing else, at least I've got that to eat (although all of my friends and family know why I do this). Even if you contribute the healthy and lean beef burgers or turkey burgers, this may deter you from the not-so healthy hot dogs and sausages. You can also bring a colorful salad or fruit salad. Those are always a big hit.

4. Find the healthy places all over the world.

Before I go on any trip, I go online and find the closest Whole Foods or Health Food Store. If there are none close by, I find a major supermarket. This doesn't mean I don't enjoy myself on vacation (like the Key Lime Pie I enjoyed down South) or when visiting family and friends, but I make sure that all healthy principles do NOT go out the window. I keep it healthy and have a great time! (Not one or the other) And what healthy foods do I eat "on the go"?: hard boiled eggs, chicken, natural beef jerky, carrots, broccoli, almonds, walnuts, and maybe a little dark chocolate as a quick treat.
