KETO DIET EXPLAINED

 

Achieving Optimal Ketosis: 

Foods to Avoid If you stick to the food listed in the previous section, you do not have to worry about not achieving optimal ketosis. On the same note, as you increase intake of those foods, you should also be on the lookout for the following foods that may hinder ketosis: 

Avoid all grains, whole meal included 

(rye, wheat, oats, barley, corn, millet, rice sorghum and buckwheat). Also, avoid all products made from grains; these include foods such as crackers, pasta, pizza, and cookies. Avoid refined fats and oils like sunflower, canola, grape seed, corn oil, soybean, and Trans-fats such as margarine. Avoid milk 

(only full-fat raw milk is acceptable). For coffee, replace milk with reasonable amounts of cream. Avoid tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples, mango papaya, etc., and some high carb fruit. Avoid fruit juice. Avoid factory-farmed pork and fish. Avoid all artificial sweeteners containing Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharine, etc. Avoid alcoholic sweet drinks such as beer, and sweet wine Avoid Soy products Now that you know what to eat and what to avoid, is there a way to guarantee faster adoption of ketosis? The answer is yes. The following section illuminates such tips: How to Get Into Ketosis ‘Fast’: Invaluable Tips It takes 48 hours to get into ketosis. To get there, you must correctly adapt the keto diet. Below are tips that should help you do just that and get your body into ketosis faster: 

Tip1: To get into ketosis faster, eat less than 20g of carbs a day. 

Tip2: Drink water, about 100 ounces per day. Drink more to lose more.

Tip3:Purchase some Ketosis. Getting some validation that the diet is actually working will be a great motivation to keep you on a diet considering the intimidating nature of the first few days of the diet. 

Tip 4:Do not panic. Be aware of the keto flu coming your way. The dizziness, the irritability, and fatigue you will be feeling on the first three days may have you experiencing mood swings; but don’t give in just yet. Reward yourself with bacon and delicious keto friendly foods as you crave for carbs and sugars. The craving will disappear as long as you’re full. 

Tip5: Consume more salt. This is really important. While on a keto diet, your body does not retain water as it normally would; hence, electrolytes like sodium quickly flush out of your body. Therefore, you need constant replenishing; otherwise, you will feel awful. As indicated earlier, opt for sea salt. 

Tip6: Never open the door to hunger. When you feel the tiniest bit of a hunger pang, immediately eat high-fat low-carb foods. The moment you get too hungry, it forms the temptation pathway. Remember: go simple. Do not over plan things because when you do, you may end up making everything strict and less fun. The keto diet is fun; keep it so. 

Tip7: Remember: this is not a high protein diet. The keto diet is high fat, low carb, and moderate protein diet. Moderate is the key word here
