For anyone new to the keto diet, there is a lot to learn before you can go about doing the keto diet effectively.
Ease into the keto diet
Going from a carb heavy diet to a keto diet can be a pretty big shock to the body. You may experience serious fatigue in the process. To prepare yourself for the keto diet you should increase the amount of fat you eat about a week before you start the diet. This will prime you for the real deal when you completely convert to the keto diet.
Track your macro nutrients
People generally don’t have a very good idea of how much calories they are consuming. Recent research shows that the amount of calories we take in and the number of calories we think we take in is so wide that you might be over eating when you think you are under eating. Sometimes your mind will trick you into thinking you are undereating when in reality your body is overeating as well.
This is the main reason why keeping track of your macro nutrients. If you have never dieted before, don’t think that you can gauge on your own how much food you can take in. It is critical that you log all the food that goes into your body.
Ketosis is a delicate balance. Being sloppy with how much fats, proteins and carbs you take in will not work out for you.
Throw out junk
When you first start out on the keto diet it might be tempting to binge on a bunch of junk food from time to time.
When you first start out on the keto diet it is important that you throw out all the junk food that you have in the house.
Without even the temptation of eating junk food you wont even have the option to throw your body out of ketosis.
