Planning a Paleo-friendly trip is easier with some prep work. Research destinations known for their health-conscious vibe and find places with Paleo food options. Booking accommodations with a kitchenette allows you to cook your own meals and snacks, which can be both cost-effective and diet-friendly. I personally bring a cooler all the time to pack essential Paleo snacks like walnuts, fresh fruits, and jerky for long travel hours. For social situations, I also bring a handful bag of carb veggies, including carrots. Additionally, check out local Paleo restaurants or grocery stores online to find fresh produce and other essentials.
Effective time management is the most crucial aspect of maintaining your Paleo diet while traveling. For social events, estimate how long you’ll be there and pack enough food to last. If you’re attending a gathering, plan what you’ll bring or consider eating beforehand if you’re unsure about available options. Similarly, when dealing with airports and airlines, account for the duration of your layovers and flight times. Bring extra snacks to cover unexpected delays or limited food choices.
Airports and airlines can be very challenging for sticking to Paleo. Before you board, check for all available food options at the airport and see if any offer Paleo-friendly choices. Managing your time effectively means planning ahead for food availability during layovers and flight times. Bringing your own snacks is a safe bet, just in case you can’t find suitable options. This way, you can avoid potential dietary slip-ups and stay on track with your Paleo lifestyle.
While traveling, make smart food choices by visiting grocery stores for fresh produce and other Paleo-friendly items. If dining out, look for grilled or baked options and request modifications to fit your Paleo diet. Cooking in your accommodation lets you use local markets’ fresh produce for simple meals. Stay active by walking, using hotel gyms, or doing in-room exercises, and stick to your Paleo goals during social events by bringing a dish to share or eating beforehand.
I also use one cold baked potato a day, which isn’t Paleo, but I keep it in my cooler and maintain a 99 percent Paleo diet overall.
This is new to me. I never heard of ‘Paleo’ before! and believe me my wife has had me on every kind of diet imaginable (to help her lose weight). I really like fruits, nuts, and most raw vegetables so this sounds like something I might enjoy. I am diabetic but it doesn’t sound like it would be a problem. I appreciate this post and your knowledge of the subject is encouraging. Thank you.
Hi there!
I’m glad you found the Paleo diet interesting! It’s great that you enjoy fruits, nuts, and raw vegetables—those are all staples in the Paleo diet. Being diabetic, you might find that the diet helps with blood sugar levels since it focuses on whole, unprocessed foods. I also have stomach problems and go to the doctor for blood work to make sure everything is good with nutrients. It’s always a good idea to talk with your healthcare provider before making any big changes to your diet, but it sounds like you’re on the right track. If you have any questions or need more info, feel free to ask. Thanks for reaching out!
