If you’re considering a vacation while on a keto diet, you need to make sure you remain on that diet no matter your holiday plans.

Why is it so? Eating keto means that you must allow your body to remain in ketosis. A process in which the fats in our body are transformed into energy, and there is also the production of ketones.

In other words, in case of a low intake of food, your body goes into a metabolic state where it tries to survive by burning the excess fat instead of carbohydrates to produce energy.

It would be best never to consider going off the keto diet since you won’t be in ketosis. And that’s where you want to be, to achieve your body goals, such as losing weight and staying healthy.

Here are a few ways on how to eat keto on vacation.

Bring Easy to Pack Keto Snacks

You can prepare keto snacks that are easy to pack and stored for a long time without going bad. You can choose to keep them in a mini-cooler.

The meals to consider must stay fresh for a while, even when not in the cooler. Such foods include:

  • Protein foods (such as lunch-meat, cheese sticks, and nuts and butter)
  • Fat foods (such as avocados, oil shots, and fat bombs)
  • Carbs food (such as berries, very-low-carbs bread, and veggies)
  • Drinkable meal (KetoCal 4 in 1 LQ).

You can find keto-friendly snacks in nearby restaurants or prepare some keto meals ahead of time before you embark on the vacation.

Timing is Everything, Call Ahead

Before you leave for the vacation, call ahead resorts or restaurants to know the types of meals they offer and see whether you need to prepare your own keto meals.

Having that information on the types of eating places to encounter during the vacation reduces stress and dining options. You may get a restaurant that provides nutritional info for their menus, and you can even make an online reservation.

Feel free to explain to them precisely what you don’t eat. Most nice restaurants offer you plenty of keto meals to eat.

Always choose to travel after bedtime since you don’t need to prepare the meal again during a short vacation of one day.

Research Online for Destinations

Do extensive research online, such as searching for the word “keto” and adding the city you’re planning to visit for vacation.

Also, some apps can help you by checking the keyword against the town, such as TripAdvisor Yelp. Try out the app to know where to get your keto meals quickly if you’re on vacation.

Hotel’s Shopping and Checklist

Nowadays, most hotels have come up with a section where you might find the refrigerator packed with some keto meals to buy.

Choose to stay in a hotel that offers meals you require for your ketogenic diet.

Conclusion

Staying keto on vacation may seem very difficult, but that’s not the case. Making a checklist of what to bring along, where to stay, and the destinations around will allow you to stay on a keto diet plan as you enjoy your vacation.
