Keto Diet Success Tips

Trivia Time! Here are some facts you didn't know about Keto!

1. It wasn’t originally developed for weight loss.

The keto diet was originally created to tackle non-weight loss related health concerns since the 1920s.

2. Most fruits are too high in carb to comply.

Fruits that can be enjoyed on a keto diet are avocados, raspberries, and lemons when they are eaten in moderation. Fruits in general can be higher in carbs (and sugar), so you need to be careful with what you eat.

3. It is common to get the “keto flu” at the beginning.

The “keto flu” is a flu-like symptom of ketosis that some people may experience when they start the keto diet. These initial symptoms are commonly reported as the “keto flu”, which include low energy levels, sweet cravings, lethargy and brain-fog. 

So, before you jump on the keto bandwagon, here are some tips for you to sidestep challenges and set yourself up for success.

What is keto diet?

The keto diet is a low-carb, moderate-protein, high-fat diet that aims to bring about weight loss by putting your body into a natural fat-burning state known as ketosis, which is where the body starts to burn stored fat for energy rather than the usual carbs.

Ketosis is achieved by eating a specific macronutrient ratio, with a focus on good fats, lean protein and limited amount of carbs.

1. Count your macros

Getting your macronutrients – fat, protein, carbohydrates – in balance ensures your body has the best sources of energy. Each day, you’ll need to aim to get the following keto macro ratio to keep yourself in nutritional ketosis:

• 70-80% of total daily calories from good fats
• 15-20% of total daily calories from lean sources of protein
• 5-10% of total daily calories from carbohydrates

You can do this by using an app or referring to the nutrition facts from reliable websites.

2. Do your research on keto foods

Before you start a keto diet, you’ll need to do your research to find out exactly what you can and can’t eat. Build your shopping list around these keto-approved foods, and try not to let anything else slip into your basket.

3. Consult a health professional or refer to reliable keto-centric apps

The low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet is restrictive, but keeping on track is made easier with the help of a health professional, and/or using reliable keto apps. There are many keto-centric or low-carb apps that can help you count and track carbs, plan meals, meal prep, and stay motivated on your keto journey.

4. Take Keto Shake

Sticking to a strict keto diet isn’t always easy! There is a little bit of maths involved with the keto macros, and sometimes it can be easier and less time-consuming to grab a keto shake that you’ve not had to spend too much time calculating the macros.
