1. Keep it simple in the beginning. Eat the same thing or same meal to you get your kitchen KETOIZED. Eggs, bacon, cucumbers, hamburger, steak, salad etc.
2. Take pics and/or try on clothes that are too small once a week instead of weighing. It took 30 days for the scale to budge, but inches were melting off.
3. Don’t count calories (in the first 30 days). Focus on getting even fat and making sure your carbs are 20 or less. Get a carb manager just so you can determine carbs in ONE flour tortilla, ONE slice of bread, ONE….etc. BE proud of yourself for each small sacrifice to regain your health.
4. Pay attention to how you feel! Take note of the new energy you gain and how good you sleep! I barely got a solid nite before I started this WOE.
5. DON’T COMPARE YOUR JOURNEY TO OTHERS!! Some people drop a lot of weight quickly others don’t. Get your blood work done. Check estrogen progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, adrenals. Low levels of these essential elements dramatically affect your ability to regain optimum health. The chemistry of every body is different.
6. Be prepared for people to think you are NUTS for eating so much fat. They have not done any research, but they offer their opinions based on the brain washing we all received from the FDA. Commit to KETO and stand by it based on your own RESEARCH. Just “DO IT” with confidence and your peers will witness your facelift, your body change, your energy level. Don’t push keto onto anyone. Shop differently and cook differently. Without GLUTEN, notice brain fog lifting, mood swings upwards, stiffness goes away, sleep is better, and the allergy season becomes a breeze.
7. MOST IMPORTANT: Remember this is a journey. It’s going to take time. Enjoy the journey and don’t give up!
