How to Follow the Keto Dieting

The Keto Dieting is high in fats, moderate in protein and low in carbohydrates. The goal is to have 70% of your calories come from fats, 25% from protein and 5% from carbohydrates. This helps to achieve ketosis and get the best results possible.

The main way to do this is by keeping your carb intake low and by eating a high-fat diet with plenty of vegetables, whole grains and legumes.

It is also important to avoid processed sugar and foods containing artificial sweeteners such as diet soda. These are often just as bad for you as regular sugar and can trigger a craving for sweet foods and drinks. Instead, drink plenty of water and replace artificially-sweetened products with natural, low-calorie sweeteners such as stevia.

You will also want to make sure you are getting enough fats in your diet by eating foods like avocado, nuts and fish. Vegetarians can follow the Keto diet as well by consuming high-fat plant-based foods such as butter, cream and full-fat dairy.

To help you reach your goals, it is helpful to have a tool to track your macros (carbohydrates, proteins and fats). You can use a food journal or a mobile app such as MyFitnessPal. It can be difficult at first to stick with a low-carb diet without tracking your food, but it becomes more intuitive over time.
