Crucially, ensure the ham has no sugary glaze (e.g., made with brown sugar or honey). Request plain, unsweetened Dijon mustard. Omit traditional high-carb sides like potatoes or potato salad. If ordering from a restaurant, specifically ask if the ham is glazed, and request a plain slice or one with a keto-friendly glaze.
Watch out for
Traditional sugary glazes (honey, brown sugar), high-sugar mustards, traditional high-carb sides (potatoes, risgrynsgröt).
