When you start a diet, you want to be successful during and after so that you can feel better faster. The Ketogenic Diet has become extremely popular and mainstream. With this popularity, an unfortunate side effect is that there is a ton of really bad advice on how to reach ketosis. Things like eating nothing but eggs for several days, dirty keto which is full of processed crap, and recipes that only spotlight meat and cream cheese. People are also going on a keto diet when it isn’t appropriate. Appropriate reasons to go on a ketogenic diet include:<\/span><\/p>\n If you and your doctor decide that this is a good therapeutic diet for you, you need to do it correctly. When you neglect essential parts of the diet you can seriously harm your thyroid health which can lead to requiring thyroid medication for the rest of your life. You can disrupt the microbiome in your gut leading to intense constipation, a reduced immune response to infection, leaky gut, and other seriously uncomfortable GI issues. You can cause inflammation in the body leading to waking up stiff and with pain, suffer from sleep disruption and insomnia, develop rashes and other uncomfortable skin and pain problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That means 75% of your calories come from healthy fats, 20% from protein, and 5% from carbohydrates. This is how you reach ketosis, create ketones, and reap the benefits of this diet. Ketones help repair your nervous system. No special drink or magic food will get you there and keep you there in a healthy way. You have to put in the work.<\/span><\/p>\n You must include a substantial amount of low carb vegetables with every meal and snack. You NEED vegetables in your days for fiber, antioxidants, their anti-inflammatory components, and the many vitamins and minerals they provide. Without them, your health will suffer greatly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Eating the same thing every day isn’t realistic. It gets boring fast. Eating “keto” muffins and snack foods every day, while delicious, isn’t healthy or truly sustainable either. Eating nothing but meat and dairy, again, while delicious, isn’t realistic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You need to be eating a variety of foods with a variety of flavors to enjoy your meals and benefit the most from your diet. Food is a soul experience and that means it tastes good and it’s fun to eat with others. Meals need to be simple to shop for, make, and eat. Then as you are able to add more foods back into your diet you have a solid foundation in place so you can continue to experience vibrant health once you are off the diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our third tip leads right into this one. Keto is NOT a lifestyle. It is a temporary diet to help your nervous system repair itself so it can function properly (or as close to it as possible). You will eventually start eating more carbs again. However, your time during this diet can lay a strong foundation of being vegetable heavy with healthy fats and proteins. Then, when it\u2019s time to transition you can add healthy carbs like fruit and starchy vegetables like potatoes and the like.<\/span><\/p>\n You know you need to go Keto, and do it correctly, but following the rules is overwhelming. Figuring out how to fit vegetables in and stay under 5% of your total calories, what fats are healthy and how to balance them out for maximum health, how to eat enough variety to not be bored yet easily follow the rules without having to track every single bite\u2026.it\u2019s a lot.
