Fats & Oils

This is one thing i wish i knew when i first started out. Oils is great, that’s what i heard for many years, however. NOT ALL OF THEM. Aim for Olive Oil, Butter is great, not margarin. Coconut Oil is a good product aswell.

Protein

This one does not surprise anyone. However, since Keto is a low-carb diet, you should try and aim for the fatty steaks (Delicious), fatty fish like Salmon and Ground Beef is an excellent option because of the cheaper price. EGGS, is probably what i eat the most. Delicious, and you can do so much with it.

Dairy

My opinion is that most dairy is fine, but you shouldn’t go bananas on them since they actually contain a little bit of carbs. You should probably go for the full fat ones, seems more natural to me. Cheese is really tasty AND acceptable and will make your life easier when on Keto.

Vegetables

Vegetables is key for me on a Ketogenic diet, however. Be careful, many vegetables and actually quite carbfilled. I usually go for Mushrooms, salad, spinach and the leafy kinds. It will up the taste on your meals.

Nuts

Nuts is a lifesaver sometimes on a Ketogenic Diet. It can be used in your meals or just as a snack, it will really help you if you get some cravings.

Beverages

Here’s the part where ALOT of people go wrong, doesn’t matter which diet. Many people think that fruitbeverages is okay, but they are actually REALLY heavy on calories. I always drink water for my meals, and throughout the day. When my cravings kick in, i always have some Pepsi Max or Coke Zero at home.

REMEMBER, if you are new to this diet, or you need mealplans, tips/tricks. Check out the bottom of my blog. There you have a link to an awesome 28 day mealplan that will help you kickstart your Keto Diet or take it to the next level!

I started my Keto Diet almost a year ago now, the only thing that i had heard about it before starting was that it controls your hunger very well. And the feeling of always being hungry was a problem for me in every diet i had tried before. I could eat a big meal but after 1-2 hours i would get hungry again.

A friend of mine recommended doing Keto with Intermitting Fasting. So, i started out doing my first meal at lunch, 12:00 and my second meal after my workout at 19:00.

During my first week, this was doable but kind of tough. I wasn’t used to not eating breakfast. But after my first week the annoying feeling of always being hungry dissappeared. So, the hunger was gone. My energy level went up and the motivation in the gym went up. The first week i didn’t experiment alot with different foods. I basically ate eggs/bacon for my first meal. And some sort of red meat with vegetables for my second meal. So my first 14 meals on the Keto Diet was pretty much identical.

The reason for that was the fact that i didn’t really know what i was suppose to eat. Keto differs from LCHF quite a bit. My idea of Keto is good quality meat, fatty fish/avocados etc. Preferably no unhealthy oils when you cook, and restricted dairy intake.

After a couple of months, i had dropped quite a bit of weight, basically with no effort. I didn’t do any cardio or increased my intensity when lifting weights. I didn’t really believe it, because i had dropped weight, but my energy levels went way up, hunger was no longer a problem and my gut felt amazing. However, the food started getting boring again, like in my previous diets.

The purpose of this blog is not to educate you on the Ketogenic Diet, i do NOT know the science behind it. The only thing i know is that when you reach ”Ketosis”, that’s when you maximize your fatloss. I’m gonna try and help you NOT to get bored of the different foods and hopefully you can reach the state of Ketosis. In the next post i’m going to give some advice on what you can eat and what not to eat.

If you go to the bottom of my page i have a picture that will take you to a great website that provides excellent help for basically your first month of Keto. It contains a 28 day mealplan that will kickstart your Keto lifestyle.

Happy Keto.
