KETO DIET – The EPITOME OF WEIGHT LOSS DIET (Part -2)
The keto diet can be the quick weight loss solution you’re looking for. But if you’re a beginner, chances are that following a keto diet for the first time will be easier than it looks. Not only can there be a host of keto diet side effects aka the keto flu that can get you down in the first few days of ketosis, such as abnormal fatigue, low energy, weakness, poor sleep, and irritability for instance. It’s also a serious problem that easily accessible and affordable carb-laden foods are everywhere, making those pesky saboteurs called carb cravings likely to set your weight loss progress back and worst case scenario, throw you off track completely. If you want to make your success on keto is a sure thing, we recommend these 6 strategies to help you fight off those pesky carb cravings and lose inches.
Plan your meals:
Planning your meals ahead of time while on keto can go a long way in ensuring that you don’t resort to spontaneous snacking. Starting keto can leave you feeling very hungry within those first few weeks, and there are few things worse than finding yourself famished in the middle of your day and deciding to hit to a vending machine or fast food restaurant because you neglected to plan. New keto dieters should not be skipping out on any calories, rather you should create a meal plan with plenty of colorful vegetables and high-fiber foods such as nuts and seeds to keep you full and satisfied throughout the day.
Opt for Protein Rich Foods:
It’ll be very important to up your protein intake a bit to eliminate those carb cravings on keto. Ensuring that you have enough protein will help you feeling full and less prone to cravings. Protein will be crucial when it comes to preserving lean muscle mass as you reduce carbs.
Get your electrolytes:
Maintaining your magnesium, potassium, and calcium balance will help you fight off feelings of low energy, carb cravings, potential heart palpitations, anxiety, leg cramps, muscle spasms, and general malaise that can occur while your body switches to ketosis. During this time, your body will also be losing lots of excess fluids, so it will be important to restore your body’s electrolytes but try not to consume high-sugar options like sports drinks in order to get them.
Get plenty of healthy fats:
Since your body will be converting to a fat burning machine thanks to those ketones produced by your liver, eating healthy fats will help you train your body to derive its energy 100% from fat sources. You could go with MCT oil which is a medium chain triglyceride oil found in coconut oil that has been shown to bring about ketosis faster, which can minimize symptoms like carb cravings and low-energy.
Try appetite suppressants:
Like mentioned earlier, shifting to ketosis is likely to make you feel very hungry at first. Carbs are a major staple in the American diet making them very difficult to avoid if you’re accustomed to having them daily. An appetite suppressant can make a major difference during this shift to break habits and prevent cravings. Diet Doc’s Appetite Zap, which is formulated to deal directly with carb and sugar cravings, can increase feelings of wellbeing, improved mood, and greater self control.
