Keto Beginner Tips

Starting out can be really scary! We learn the most by trial and well let’s face it, mostly error!  Here are only some tips to get you going in the right track:

1) in the first days stay under 20 carbs and eat as much of everything else, try for more fats. Once your body adjusts you will gradually start eating less and then focus on you calories, and other macros. You may want to start a food log!

2) try not to do crazy recipes, stick to simple foods.

3) If you mess up or realize something had more sugar than you thought, it’s ok. Learn then keep going. But don’t throw the day out the window and splurge.

4) have Powerade zero on hand at the very least to replace electrolytes, or any other electrolyte replacement!

5) sorry no fruits except for avocados, lemons, small amounts of berries.

6) intermittent fasting won’t be easy / natural until you are fat adapted and aren’t as hungry. I forget to eat at times. So wait for now until you get to that point.

7) start with simple breakfasts - eggs, bacon, and avocado

8) start with simple lunches and dinners - salads with chicken, steak or fish. Always you dressings.

9) there are many variations of keto. Strict Keto, and Lazy Keto are the most popular. Do what’s best for you and your lifestyle 🤗

10) carbs minus fiber minus sugar alcohols = net carbs! We are allowed 20 net carbs. Too much sugar alcohol can have a not so great affect for you when it comes to the bathroom. Be careful on eating too many sugar alcohols.
