If you want to go keto, the best thing to do is to commit yourself wholly to it. There's no point in making half-hearted attempts and then failing or abandoning it because of setbacks. You might as well just fully commit, get yourself into ketosis as quickly as possible, and reap the benefits that come with a ketogenic diet. By following a properly structured diet and being successful at it, you'll be much more likely to stick with it and enjoy what the benefits of keto have to offer. Here are the 5 tips to a successful ketogenic diet:
1.Know your goals and what you wish to achieve with the ketogenic diet.
2.If you're new to keto, test the waters first with a strict low-carb diet for a week or two. This will help you determine your carbohydrate tolerance.
3.Try to avoid snacking when possible and avoid snacking on carbohydrates (like crackers, cookies, chips etc)
4.Stay hydrated! Try to keep your water intake at the minimum of half of your body weight in ounces per day (example: 100 pounds = 50 ounces of water per day).
5.Make sure to get adequate rest and make time for self-care such as meditation or yoga each week.
Hopefully, these tips will help you decide to begin your own keto diet. If you think that a ketogenic diet is the right choice for you, feel free to make the jump. And good luck with the new diet! It should be a fun and informative experience.
