That’s when a friend recommended this keto product , a high-fat, low-carb diet that aims to put you into ketosis. I immediately jumped in, and started the keto diet on September 18, 2017.
TBH, the keto diet was….an adjustment. I struggled to rethink what had become the norm for me (if I was hungry, for example, I couldn’t just go make a sandwich anymore). Eating wasn’t all about convenience anymore—but after I lost my first 20 pounds, I felt even more motivated on the diet.
My support system also helped with my lifestyle change. My friends were (and are) considerate of my lifestyle, and my partner happily eats all of the keto meals I prepare. My father also started the diet with me and has lost 100 pounds, so I’ve never felt alone in this weight-loss journey.
I am constantly resisting the temptation to binge eat, and for that reason, I can’t have cheat meals or cheat days because they’ll turn into cheat weeks.
That doesn’t mean I never indulge, but I’ve found new, healthier keto-friendly snacks to indulge in, and I only do it when I’m really craving something. Now that I’m focused on eating when I’m hungry and not out of habit, these are the meals I’ll have to stay on track:
- Breakfast: I realized I only ate breakfast out of habit, so I don’t usually eat in the mornings anymore, but I will have coffee with heavy cream, and tons of water.
- Lunch: An omelet with loads of veggies and cheese, and maybe bacon on the side.
- Dinner: Alfredo sauce and shrimp over NuPasta (a keto pasta alternative) or any type of meat with veggies
- Snack: I’m obsessed with The Keto Box, which lets me try a few different keto snacks a month.
