I want everyone reading this to get comfortable with the thought of dieting: dieting for your own personal goals and dieting under conditions that will lead to your personal success long-term.

Sometimes Ketosis diet users act like carbs and sugars are the enemy.

A lot of the time, people restrict themselves too much when they begin a diet. Then, when they mess up dieters are less likely to start the diet again because they fear failure. It is important for you to tweak all diets to fit into your lifestyle. That way, you won't think of the diet as temporary but instead as a lifestyle change.

With keto, you're "supposed" to limit the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat. For someone who enjoys eating salads and conventionally healthy options, this might be something you tweak on the diet. In cases like this, you would just increase the amount of protein and fats in your diet, limit access sugars aside from the fruits and vegetables you eat, and raise the amount of carbs you're allowed to eat. For a typical keto diet, you would try to remain under 25g of carbs a day, but in this case you might raise your carb intake to 50g a day but still avoid carb-loaded foods such as rice, pasta, and bread.

If you don't tweak the diets you're on, chances are you will give up because it's unrealistic to give up the foods you enjoy eating permanently. Keto can be especially hard at the beginning because your body is starting a new process.

While you're in ketosis, instead of your body burning carbs for energy, your body burns fats because that is all you're eating. This is what leads to such a fast weight loss. With that weight loss comes a lot of responsibility making sure you're providing your body with sufficient nutrients to be in healthy ketosis.

I remember how exciting summer was when I was a kid. I would just be eagerly waiting for school to end so that I could fly to some exotic location with my family for the summer. Or hang out with my friends every day. Or just lay around in bed or read, paint, draw, basically do whatever.
