Surrendering and bringing up needs

We promote a First Mate/Captain dynamic. Being a good First Mate means you voice all your concerns up front and then let your Captain handle them. It doesn't mean staying mum about important things.

I was keto for a good 10 months. Honestly the concept behind it has become almost mainstream especially within people who look into fitness and recent dietary health ideas. I'd explain to people I've replaced the sugar and carbs in my diet with more fats and protein and most would go "oh that sounds like Keto I can work with that". Even the (active/masculine) guys around here that don't eat healthy are usually pretty keen about eating fats and protein. Only issue is sometimes I'd be left picking off the toppings off pizza cause they forget bread is carbs.

It's common enough I think you can just mention "I'm keto for the health benefits". Fair chance he's heard it if he's been around fitness people. If he hasn't heard about keto at all mention it's diet related, if he's going to take the lead he can google it and get all the information he needs.

Just bring it up and be open to negotiate. If he's the right man for you he'll be accepting of it.

Maybe offer to pack your own meals/bring meal replacement bars if he can't finagle it on his own. Definitely give him the chance to impress you first thought, men are good at that.

You might look into exogenous keytones. They make life a lot easier.

I love LD and im brainstorming what she might say. What are some things you would love to eat on the trip? Think of those things and express them as pure desires to him. “I would love to eat bacon, eggs, & olives from breakfast! Sounds perfect for a camp out. I’d love to have xyz for lunch and dinner.” I’m assuming he’s cooking all the food. He may not know what you want, so it’s good to tell him. Thank him for taking such good care of you. Also bring enough beef jerky to make sure your needs are met just in case. Since you don’t know him well enough yet, you don’t know how it will play out.

Guess I'm going to be the dissenting opinion here...
If you're on a very restrictive diet (keto, vegan, etc.) and you would like to maintain that very restrictive diet on a multi-day trip where there are many other food-related concerns (transporting it, lack of normal refrigeration, his kids' food preferences) and non-food concerns, the responsibility for your food really should be on you. It's totally fine that you have a special diet, but it's not fair to put that burden on someone else in this context. It's not like being invited over to someone's house for dinner where it's much easier to accommodate a special diet. But do let him know what you plan on doing so he can bring the right amount...you can tell him about your diet and offer to bring your own food, but you should not expect him to accommodate a diet that is so restrictive when there are so many other concerns.
