Getting Started on the Keto Dieting

The Keto Dieting is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that can lead to fast and sustainable weight loss.1 But following the diet to achieve and maintain ketosis can be difficult, especially at the beginning.

This is because when you restrict carbs, your body’s glycogen stores deplete quickly and the blood sugar level drops, causing the body to start using fat for energy as a fuel source. This is called a fat shift or a state of ketosis, and typically begins within the first few days of starting the diet.

As a result of this, you may experience fatigue, dizziness, or muscle cramps. This is normal, and the symptoms should subside after a few weeks. If they don’t, you might be consuming too few carbohydrates or not exercising enough. It’s worth looking at your daily calorie intake and exercise, and taking the advice of a registered dietitian to help you get back on track.

Fortunately, there are many resources available to support you on the Keto diet, including food apps and cookbooks with delicious recipes and meal ideas, as well as meal delivery services that can help you meet your nutritional needs and achieve your goals.

When it comes to Keto cooking, prepping ahead is a surefire way to save time and money. Stock up on your favourite Keto essentials, such as meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, and tofu (if you’re vegan), as well as veggies like kale, broccoli, asparagus, and zucchini, fruits like raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, natural low-carb sweeteners, and herbs and spices.
