Keto Diet: What To Pack for a Week in London

While I’m super excited to celebrate my nephew’s wedding in London, I’m also a bit nervous I may blow all of my hard work and success I’ve had with being on the ketogenic diet once I get there. Especially since I’m not entirely sure what types of foods are there or what is easily accessible.

So, in an effort to stay true to myself and the low carb, high fat, moderate protein diet, I’ve found some items that I am taking with me.

Perfect Keto Bars – these are delicious! And filling. If you tried them before July 2019 and didn’t like them, try them again – they are sooo much better than the original version! My favorite flavors are Cinnamon Roll and Salted Caramel. These are great to have on the plane ride, carry with you while sight-seeing, or eating at any time. From the Perfect Keto site: Each bar contains 19g of high-quality fats to keep you satiated, and only 3g of net carbs formulated to minimize blood sugar impact. By providing 10g of 100% grass-fed collagen protein, you will also promote hair, skin and nail health, even though it tastes like a keto protein bar.

Perfect Keto Coffee – Since I absolutely love my bulletproof coffee (with a little sugar-free syrup), I wanted to make sure I would be able to have it while I’m away. And I wasn’t sure if MCT oil or coconut oil are as readily available in the UK as they are in the US. This is where these coffee packets come in. They are available in Mocha, Unflavored, and Vanilla flavors. I chose vanilla and it is delicious! I really like that there is no sugar, no lactose, no additives in this coffee. These have only 1 carb per serving.

Perfect Keto Blood Sugar Support Capsules -these are designed to help keep blood sugar levels balanced, so there’s no highs and lows. The serving is 4 small capsules per day. You can also take an extra serving if you have a carbohydrate heavy meal. I don’t plan on having any of those since I’m afraid of how I will feel having carbs again. I don’t want that icky feeling to interfere with my trip. But just in case I do, I’m now prepared.

Real Salt – This is different than any other salt. It is unprocessed and ancient sea salt with trace minerals and no additives. Not only do I use this to salt my food, but I also use a bit on my tongue if I’m feeling a little sluggish and am in need of electrolytes.

Tip: I also add a little to bitter coffee to smooth out the flavor.

Fat Fuel Cocoa – similar to the coffee packets above, this cocoa contains MCT oil, grass-fed butter powder, Erythritol, and Himalayan salt. Basically it’s bulletproof cocoa. Yum! It’s the perfect treat when I want something sweet, warm, and comforting. Which I think will be great on a cool, damp evening in London. If I’m having as a treat, I usually only use a half packet. I save the whole packet for a meal.

Tuna Packets – these are an easy-to-pack protein source. You can add to lettuce for a salad or bunless sandwich. At 80 calories per pouch and up to 18 grams of protein, you can’t go wrong. So, when you need a little pick me up, or the only options in the airport are fast food joints or ridiculously expensive restaurants, rip these open and enjoy. I buy mine at Aldi.

I like this vitamin organizer since it has an easy push-button locking system that protects it from opening up in my suitcase.

Vitamins – I take a 50+ multi-vitamin, Lutein (for eye health), potassium, calcium, vitamin D, Turmeric (reduces inflammation), CoQ10 (for heart health), and fish oil. Since all of the bottles would take up too much room in my suitcase, I put them in a daily organizer that has compartments for day and night. I do this at home too, since it makes it easy to remember to take them. (Middle age brain and all).

Collagen powder packets – I only have a couple of these samples from my last trip to Costco. I usually buy collagen in bulk canisters. But, I think this will be good to have on hand to keep my joints in tip-top shape since I know we will be doing tons of walking.

These are my favorite things to take on a week-long trip over the pond. How about you? What would you add to this list to stay keto or low carb? Tell me in the comments.
