Big Secret To Success When Starting Keto
SHARE: The first several weeks on Keto can be tough.
It's a bit different for everyone, but it's very common to experience some carb withdrawal symptoms, commonly called the "keto flu". Along with that, you may have some serious temptations to eat carbs... breads, doughnuts, candy bar, ice cream.
What's the best thing you can do to ensure you won't give in?
--> Get rid of ALL carbs in your house.
Yes, all flour, potatoes, rice, sugary treats, pasta, syrups, etc.
If there is no way to cheat, you can't. (Aside from physically driving away to the store.)
Instead, you'll grab a Keto-friendly snack instead.
And guess what? The cravings will vanish.
You'll gradually reach the point where you've replaced the habit of snacking on carbs, with eating Keto-approved foods.
In a few weeks, those cravings just won't come up any more. (Or at least, more rarely, and they'll be more manageable.)
BUT ... what if you can't get rid of all carbs for some reason? (Maybe your family refuses...)
Create a very strong Keto-friendly meal plan. (Actually, even if you do carb-purge your house, you need do to this. If you don't plan Keto meals and have Keto foods in your house, your default mode will be to eat like you did before.)
Ideally, your Keto plan should be quick and easy.
