Trying to stay paleo/high fat on Vegas trip

[Guest guest]

Hello. I am writing this to a couple of the groups I am on because I

don't fit exactly in one of them, but could use suggestions.

I am female, almost 44, 5'1 " , 117# after dropping 72 pounds since

August. I weigh every morning and stay within 2# of my final dieting

weight. My diet consists almost exclusively of meats/organs (mostly

steaks, pork, chicken, beef heart, gizzards) not totally raw but

warmed up from the fridge on a Foreman grill for about 30

seconds, so it's still red, bloody, etc. I make my own beef jerky

and pork cracklin (just plain, no additives) and eat a ton of coconut

oil (3-4tbs a day usually) and sometimes plain butter and no-carb

cheese like mozzarella.

Currently only eating grilled onions or apples as carbs, and not even

daily. Drink at least half a gallon of water/green tea a day. My

F:P:C ratio according to the website I track on is usually 65:30:5 to

about 70:30:0. Obviously I am following a high fat, med-high

protein, very low carb diet. I'd like to try 80%+ fat (by reducing

protein and adding more coconut oil) to see if I can drop another 5#.

We will be going to the most unhealthy place around Las Vegas for

9 days. I am playing in two World Series of Poker events. This is

my first vacation since changing my eating so drastically. We are

flying and staying in a major hotel on the Strip and will have public

transportation but no car. The bulk of the time will be spent

playing poker. Apparently this is an Albertson's and a Von's about

two miles from our hotel. If we have any refrigeration, it will be

one of those small hotel fridges. Sticking with the water/green tea

is easy enough (I put tea bags in water bottles and let them

naturally " brew " !) Because we are flying I can't pack much but I

want to take my coconut oil with me. I though I could put it in

small bottles like water bottles or squeeze bottles, put those in

freezer bags then pack.

We don't go out to eat much at home now but will have to on the

trip. The only thing that has been " safe " enough for me has been to

either order a cheeseburger or other burger without the bun (fast

food) or a plain big steak as rare as they will allow (restaurant).

Are there any other travel-friendly paleo/raw paleo/high fat items

that I should consider? My husband still eats the SAD so this is

just for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated, esp. from any

Vegas-philes.

Blessings,

Dont take the cc oil or freezer packs as carry ons or they will take them away

from you. You can only do it, in your packed luggage and even then the freezer

things are iffy.

I travel all the time with my coconut oil - I put in a bottle with a very

tight fitting lid and then I put it in a zip lock just in case......so far

so good. Can you eat raw nuts on your diet??? I usually travel with them

as well.
