MORE ON JETLAG -
Scott Ahlsmith of the Road Less Traveled Podcast and Blog describes his Jetlag Diet in a short, 3 minute podcast. The goal is to each a high protein meal on the day of your arrival at the destination. From that, you work your way backwards so that the day prior to the breakfast is a high carbohydrate day and the day before that is a high protein day. You do that for two more days, which means you start this diet 4 days prior to your departure. (In summary: Protein Day, Carb Day, Protein Day, Carb Day, Protein Breakfast at arrival place.)
