First let me answer this question as to why I started the ketogenic diet. My appearance is important to me not because I care what others think but because I want to be happy when I look at myself in the mirror. You can tell me that happiness is a state of mind and for the most part you are correct but because I can control how my body looks through the things I eat then I know that an unhealthy body means Im slacking. And that doesnt make me happy. The problem is that most diets have you sacrificing some things without replacing them with others. It took me a ton of trial and error to find a diet that actually worked for me and wasnt just a fad. A diet that could become my lifestyle and keto has become that. In fact with Keto I was able to lose12 lbs in 28 daysand I havent seen it since. Through myKeto Dashprogram Ive now helped 100s of people get acclimated with the Ketogenic diet and not only get closer to the bodies that they want but become much healthier as a result. Wouldnt you want: Better sleep Less body aches More energy Better concentration levels Less moments of feeling like you are starving Keto helps with all of these things and thats why I love it and recommend it to so many people. In fact I was able to get my in-laws on it. My father-in-law has been battling chronic knee pain for years after a number of surgeries and recently it has been hard for him to walk up and down stairs due to foot problems. Because hes pre-diabetic he has to watch what he eats but that usually means just making sure he stays away from sugar. Well after a couple of weeks on keto he has no problem walking up the stairs has way more energy and his doctor has been completely impressed with his bodys turnaround. And he lost 33 lbs! My mother-in-law called my husband the other day and was mad at him because someone asked her if she was sick. They asked because she had lost weight. By no means was she sickly its that in her occupation when people lose weight people associate it with cancer so people were worried about her. When she told them that she was fine and was just on a diet they demanded to know what the diet was! So as you can see the ketogenic diet helps to change lives and thats why I made it my lifestyle. As with any diet though there are big changes that you have to make and this post goes into how I prepared to completely change how both my husband and I were going to eat for the rest of our lives. Starting the Ketogenic Diet The biggest change with the ketogenic diet is of course the almost complete removal of carbs from your daily eating routine. This is a huge change for a lot of people. Do you eat bread? Gone (but there are awesome keto versions you can make). Do you eat pasta? Gone (but there are awesome keto versions you can make). Do you eat rice? Gone (but there are awesome keto versions you can make). The reality of the situation is that most people have these kinds of carbs in every single meal that they have so having to change that routine is pretty massive. How do you get over that hump? Research Keto Recipes It starts with research. You need to understand what kind of foods you can actually have on keto because that will allow you to gain a better understanding of your options. Most people when they start keto think that eggs are the only thing that you can have for breakfast but that isnt the case. People much smarter than me have found ways to make keto-friendly pancakes muffins and even donuts. They were able to do so because they understood what they could eat and then figured out how to turn those ingredients into the foods that they desired. Check out thislist of keto-friendly foods. There are a ton of options at your disposal. Many of the foods that you currently like have keto-friendly replacements. In fact here are over300 keto-friendly recipes. advertisement Ready to Lose 10-21 lbs in the Next 28 Days? download here : ebayproductfree.b… click here:http://bit.ly/2qOA5lI Learn How to Meal Plan Now that youve researched the different foods that you can eat it is time to plan out your meals. Before Keto sometimes I would have a plan for dinner but breakfast and lunch were a complete crapshoot. This didnt work very well for me when I did a test run of keto because when I was hungry and unprepared I simply ate whatever was available. When you do meal plans though you understand not only what you are going to eat but when you are going to eat. This completely changes your mindset around eating. Instead of stressing about what youre going to have for lunch you already know. Before Keto I had no idea how much mental energy I would waste trying to figure out what to eat. It was crazy. So how do you meal plan? Well on Keto it comes down to understanding your macros. The traditional ratio of macros is 75% fats 20% protein and 5% carbs. With those ratios in mind you can use a macro calculator to figure out how many grams of each you need each day and from there you can check out the differentketo recipesand plan accordingly. Once I had my meals all set I was almost ready. Next was making sure I was prepared for the oncoming keto flu. Preparing for Keto Flu Keto flu is a weird phenomenon that happens to some people when they start the keto diet. They feel like crap. They feel foggy get headaches and in general are a wreck. Its no wonder why people quit keto just a couple weeks in. So what causes keto flu? Its the lack of electrolytes in your body. Because your body is so used to eating crap you usually get sodium potassium and magnesium into your system in small doses. On Keto most of the stuff that you do eat doesnt contain these things and because youre drinking so much water youre flushing out the electrolytes faster than you can replenish them. When this happens you experience the keto flu. To combat it you have to find a way to get those 3 minerals (potassium magnesium and sodium) back into your system. Some people choose to buy supplements to make sure they get what they need but I just made sure that added salt and other things to certain meals. My husband loves to put Sriracha on his eggs in the morning since its a good source of sodium. After a couple of weeks your body will level out and you wont have to be so conscious about adding these minerals into your diet. If you want to play it safe you can useMio Electrolytes Berry Blast B Vitamins Liquid Water Enhancerto ensure youre getting the required electrolytes. Speaking of water Figure Out How Im Going to Drink So Much Water Keto only works if you drink enough water. Many people cant enter ketosis because they arent consuming enough water. How much is enough water? You need to be drinking between 0.5 ounces to 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight. Thats probably way more water than youre used to drinking so you need to come up with a strategy to ensure you get the water that you need. I like to carry around an awesomewater cupup almost everywhere I go. If I dont take it inside I have it sitting in the car waiting. You want to get a cup where you know how much water it holds. Then keep track of how many of those cups you drink in a day. Initially youll be using the bathroom a lot but over time your body will get used to the large amounts of water you are consuming and the bathroom breaks become much less frequent. Making Fat Bombs When it comes to reaching my macros reaching the right amount of fats is always the hardest. The best thing that you can do is prepare fat bombs ahead of time and incorporate them into your meal plan. Fat bombs just make everything easy. Here are11 fat bomb recipes you should try out. Tell Family and Friends This might be the most important step. Your family and friends need to understand the diet that you are on but more importantly they need to understand why youre doing it. The last thing you need is for these people to continue to put you in situations where you have to make tough food choices. You definitely dont want them to give you a hard time either. This journey becomes a lot easier when you have the support of loved ones around you. Heck you might even convince some of them to join you. It Takes Preparation Keto isnt something you can just dive right into. Everyone that I help with keto that tries to start right away without preparation fails and comes back to start again later. Keto Dashis the perfect system that allows you to ease into a keto diet. You get the preparation you need before diving right in. Keto causes you to make big changes to your lifestyle and doing that cold turkey on a whim is a recipe for success. However if you take the steps mentioned in this post then youll find that your odds of succeeding are greatly improved. advertisement Ready to Lose 10-21 lbs in the Next 28 Days? download here : ebayproductfree.b… click here:http://bit.ly/2qOA5lI ift.tt/2QHLjUQ
