Low-Carb Diet While Traveling

Vacations are usually an excuse to eat "whatever I want." But coming home bloated and 10 pounds heavier ruins the relaxation. You can enjoy local food without going off the rails.

At the Airport

Avoid the Cinnabon. Look for:

• Starbucks: Egg bites (sous vide) are keto-friendly.
• Newsstands: Beef jerky, nuts, and cheese sticks.
• Sit-down bars: Cobb salad or Buffalo wings (unbreaded).

Hotel Breakfasts

The continental breakfast is a carb nightmare (waffles, cereal, pastries). Stick to:

• Scrambled eggs and sausage.
• Plain yogurt (check for sugar).
• Cream cheese and coffee.

Road Trips

Pack a cooler. Hard-boiled eggs, cold cuts, cheese, and low-carb energy drinks/coffee. Fast food burgers without buns are your safety net.
