12 Hacks That Will Make The Keto Diet So Much Easier

April 24, 2018

keto diet hacks

Everyone is talking about the Keto diet, so you may wonder what it has to offer. An additional concern is how to simplify the diet so it takes little effort and provides great results. This low-carb, high-fat diet is useful in many ways. It can help you lose weight, and improve your health. Equally important, these Keto diet hacks can help you master the basics and enjoy the results.

Below are 12 ways you can make the Keto Diet so much easier to follow!

1. Start with a meal plan.

The easiest way to start a new diet is with a meal plan. You will not be tempted to cheat, and you will know what you can eat. Write a detailed plan for each week. List the ingredients you will need, and take it with you when you shop.

2. Try a healthy Keto snack.

Whether your goal is weight loss or better general health, regular snacking can ruin your diet. If snacking has been a factor in weight gain or health issues, the keto diet can include healthier snack options.

You can indulge your sweet tooth with a low-calorie treat like dark chocolate. I like to make almond butter freezer bars by combining almond butter, coconut oil, and raw honey, and then freezing it in a small container. This treat will always be handy whenever you crave something sweet.

3. Consider intermittent fasting.

There are different approaches to intermittent fasting. You can choose the approach that works for you. You can fast on alternate days, or fast for an entire day. However, you may find it is easier to adhere to time-restricted eating. With this approach, you won’t eat anything for 16 hours and only eat within a specific 8-hour window. For example, only eating from noon-8 PM, essentially skipping breakfast. You would drink water during the fasting periods.

Note: Talk to your doctor first before starting this kind of diet.

4. Consider your overall wellness.

When you start a new diet, you don’t want to feel deprived. A sedentary lifestyle provides too much time to think about food. Instead, choose new lifestyle habits that help you stay focused. Relaxation and exercise will help you stay on the diet, and will improve your overall health.

5. Make High-Protein breakfast a priority.

A high-protein breakfast is the healthiest way to start the day. It provides energy, and helps you feel full until lunchtime. Have bacon and eggs for breakfast. If you wish, you can use these products in a recipe. An omelet, for example, is a delicious, protein-packed breakfast.

6. Prepare meals for lunch.

When you want to succeed, prepare your own meals. Whether you work or attend school, lunch does not need to be a problem. Choose appropriate foods, and pack your lunch in a plastic container or a lunchbox. You can stay on your diet when you avoid the cafeteria, convenience stores, and vending machines.

7. Avoid acidic products.

There are many beverages and foods that are highly acidic, and do not belong in your diet. Alcohol, many dairy products, and carbonated soft drinks should be avoided.

Choose better options for your Keto diet. Green tea, smoothies, and blended fruit drinks are some great examples.

8. Save money, and make meal preparation easy by purchasing bulk vegetables.

A wide range of vegetables fit into the Keto diet. You will find many you truly like, and they are very healthy. Take advantage of sales to buy bulk quantities.

To make meal preparation simple, the vegetables can be washed, chopped, and stored in your freezer in appropriate-sized containers. You can use the vegetables in recipes, plain, or as a healthy snack.

9. Choose simple recipes with few ingredients.

Unless you are an expert cook with plenty of time to spare, success with the Keto diet includes easy recipes that are easy to prepare. You will not become discouraged over complicated recipes that take too much time.

10. Make the most of spices.

Dieting does not need to be a bland, boring process. You can actually enjoy your new diet when it is packed with flavor. You can add garlic powder, thyme, cilantro, cinnamon, rosemary, oregano, chili powder, parsley, and cayenne pepper to your recipes. Spices add a delicious flavor, and your meals will be exciting. You can also find many sauces and condiments suitable for the Keto diet.

11. Choose healthy fats.

While fat is naturally present in high-protein foods such as eggs and meat, other healthy fats can be used for cooking. Avoid trans fats and processed polyunsaturated fats, and focus on monounsaturated fats and saturated fats.

Some examples of healthy fats for cooking include butter, macadamia oil, avocado oil, olive oil, coconut oil, and coconut butter. Even mayonnaise can be included in your Keto diet, and will add a nice flavor to many foods and recipes.

12. Drink plenty of fresh water.

This is number one in my book! For all of us, hydration is key to health and drinking enough water is even more vital when consuming less carbs. One of the crucial roles played by carbohydrates is holding sodium and water within the body. On the keto diet more salt is excreted from your body since carbs and processed foods are eliminated from your diet.

There are several central roles played by water. These include boosting your metabolism and stopping you from misidentifying feelings of thirst for feelings of hunger. Therefore, on the keto diet, it is important to stay hydrated.

Try these Keto Diet Hacks

The Keto diet is healthy and safe for most people. If you have a medical condition, though, it is a good idea to check with your personal physician before making changes to your diet or your daily routine.

If you start with these Keto diet hacks, you will appreciate all the benefits this diet has to offer. You can be healthier, slimmer, and feel good. These hacks can improve your dieting experience, and make the path to better health easy and enjoyable.
