The Ketogenic diet, oftentimes shortened to just the Keto diet, is popular amongst those who want to lose weight, who have various health concerns, and for anyone that wants to improve their lifestyle. But, if someone is planning to use this diet, there are many important bits of information that should be known before beginning. One user shares her thoughts of the diet, and some of the things that she wishes someone had told her before she began the Keto way of life.
Key Takeaways:
- Fat is your friend. If I’m feeling low-energy between lunch and dinner, I eat a handful of almonds or some broccoli with Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- I use My Fitness Pal to track my carbs and macros. In the beginning, this is also a great way to start learning (and despairing of) the net carb count in foods you commonly eat.
- Need more motivation? If how someone’s body feels isn’t enough, make sure to weigh in and take photos before you begin this diet
