The Keto Diet

It requires the individual to throw away carbs, junk food, sauces, cold drinks, and starchy veggies while limiting fruit intake.

Starting With The Keto Diet
- While preparing for this kind of diet, the first step is to go through the kitchen and pantry to get rid of the non-keto stuff, just to avoid any impulsive eating.
- Then we need to make a meal plan for the week, including snack items.
- Keep a lot of almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut/olive oils, eggs, canned food and powdered protein.
- Stock some veggies, frozen berries and broccoli in the fridge, along with coconut milk.
