Have you been looking for a way of eating that provides substantial benefits with long term effects?

Then the keto diet is just what you've been looking for!

The keto diet is straightforward and simple because it's based on one basic rule…

Eat High Fat And Low Carb

Now it may sound simple enough, don't let the simplicity fool you!

While the diet suggests that you eat high-fat foods, it does not mean that you can eat all kinds of fatty foods.

As a matter of fact, the high fats referred to in the keto diet are healthy fats from natural foods.

It's important to make sure the food you eat contains the healthy fats you need to fuel your energy, not weigh you down.

Not Sure What Fats To Eat?

Consider adding butter, olive oil, nuts, seeds and grass-fed animals to your meals.

They all contain healthy fats to keep you going through the whole day. You should also avoid starchy and processed foods.

Snacks: Nuts, Celery Sticks With Cheese, Blueberries Or A Green Smoothie

When you just get started you may notice some changes in your body’s conditions or functioning, and you should be prepared for them.

These changes happen because your body is adjusting to it's new “norm” where you will be using ketonesfor energy instead of carbohydrates. In the beginning you may feel moody, tired, and sometimes nauseous.

To combat these problems, drink more water, add more healthy fats and protein to your diet, and try adding some clean carbs on your meal, like more veggies or a small serving of approved fruit.

This will allow your body will relax while you're going though the transition.

Once you get through the first stage of your keto diet, that's when you will start to notice that you have more physical energy and your mind will start performing at a more optimum level.

You may experience a slight energy crash in the afternoon, but a quick recovery will have you feeling more refreshed and energized.

Eventually you may also be less likely to overeat and may even feel less hungry more often.

Also, it's important to know that you should not necessarily skip meals. When hungry eat. If not then don't! It's that simple.

What's more important is that you follow the right rules.

So What Are The Rules?

The rules for starting the keto diet are actually really simple! Eat 2 – 3 complete meals a day or fuel up with keto-friendly snacks.

This will provide your body with the right kind of energy and you can only get this from the nutrients provided by the foods included in the keto diet.

Also you should consider using a keto calculator before you start the keto diet. Doing so can be helpful so you can identify the ratio of carbs, fats, and proteins your body needs.

It will also helps you calculate the calories you get from the foods you are eating and figure out how much weight you have to lose.

As you get further along on your keto journey, that's when you want to start monitoring your ketone levels to check the effects of the diet on your body.

Seeing measurable results and improvements will help motivate you.

Though the keto diet focuses mainly on the fats and carbs, you also have to pay attention to the other nutrients your body needs.

Make sure you still have enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

These three minerals are vital to keeping you healthy. Insufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals can make you experience cravings, fatigue, sleep disorders, and mood imbalances, so make sure to pay attention to all of your body’s needs.
