Keto on Holiday: How to Stay Low-Carb While Travelling
Travelling is one of the biggest tests of keto commitment. Airport food, unfamiliar restaurants, and holiday relaxation mode can challenge even the most dedicated keto practitioner.
Pre-Travel Preparation
Pack a keto snack kit for the journey: nuts, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, pork rinds, and beef jerky. These travel well and get you through the departure and arrival without resorting to airport food.
At the Airport
Most airports have a Pret a Manger, Itsu, or similar that offers keto-compatible items: egg pots, avocado, salads with protein, and nuts. Avoid baked goods entirely.
In Your Hotel
Inform the hotel of dietary requirements when booking. Hotels can usually provide eggs, smoked salmon, meats, and salads — the basics of keto — even if they are not on the standard menu.
On Holiday in Mediterranean Countries
Greek cuisine (grilled meat, olives, feta, salads), Spanish cuisine (jamon, gambas, salmorejo without bread), and Italian cuisine (grilled fish and meat, antipasto) are all highly keto-navigable.
