There has been a lot of diet trends and activities here and there just to lose weight. Some consider working out, undergoing fad diets and surgeries, sports, and even starving themselves so they can lose unwanted fats. I’ll be sharing 4 ways to lose weight that you can explore.
However, some people just have a hard time working on their weight. When you’ve already tried so many ways, this might be the time to consider Ketosis.
The Ketogenic diet was created as an effective treatment for epileptic children but soon after, more and more people learned of its benefits which include a healthy way to lose weight, control blood sugar levels, improve brain function, and reverse health conditions.
Ketosis is a normal metabolic process in which it makes the body keep working. When our bodies don’t have enough carbohydrates, this can lead to burning stored fats resulting in ketones within the body. In other words, the Keto diet is also called a fat-burning diet. Though this diet is mostly used by people with diabetes, this can also be done by people who want to lose weight.
Here are four tips to get started on Keto that you need to go through before achieving weight loss.
Disciplined disposition
Having proper discipline is the key to weight loss. If you are eager to lose weight, you should start working now. Don’t procrastinate and make yourself achieve your goal. One way to make this happen is to set your goals and write them in a journal.
Clear out your fridge and pantry
Keep temptation away by giving away food not suited to the Keto diet. Junk food, chocolates, soda, rice meals, and beer don’t have a place in a Kketonic diet. If you want to stick with Keto, doing this will help you make it easier to succeed in losing weight.
Restock low-carb food in your fridge
It’s essential to have plenty of healthy Keto food that will absolutely help you ensure that you reach your goal. The basic categories of Keto food are green leafy vegetables, seafood and fish, all meats, eggs, healthy fats (like coconut oil, olive oil, ghee, tallow, lard), some nuts and seeds, and some fruits like avocados and berries. You can also buy some supplements to arm your diet. but be careful with what you buy. Look for perfect keto reviews on the internet to learn more about it.
Be ready for Keto flu
Undergoing this diet has a downside—the Keto flu. This makes you dizzy, hungry, tired, and experience headaches because your body is adjusting to burning fat instead of sugar.
To get off Keto, you can gradually eat fatty food and add more calories to your diet. Clean carbs also help too, as well as eating salty food. Hydrate yourself through drinking more water and pair it off with exercise.
The Ketogenic diet is one way to lose weight without taking anything that might be harmful. All you need is to stick with it and not lose focus. Good luck on your journey to getting fit!

I’ve been struggling to find ways to lose weight lately. It’s nice to know that Ketosis actually works. Although sometimes staying healthy is actually so expensive, spending a lot of money in the hospital is expensive as well. Time to stock up on lean meat, eggs, and milk!
I’ve been struggling to lose weight lately. Maybe it’s because I rarely do exercise, but I think a healthy diet is really important. I’m glad that Ketosis is a natural thing that our body does. If we eat well, I’m sure that thing will kick in way better.
I always have a yoyo weight. There will be months that I get to have a sedentary lifestyle – fastfood, soda and other unhealthy foods. There will be months that I keep track of what I eat. For me intermittent fasting works best if I want to lose weight. I like how you pointed out about discipline. Losing weight is something that should start with commitment.
I have seen a number of people doing the Ketogenic diet and I sure find it interesting and healthy. Although, I find it most difficult to remove carbohydrates from my diet, especially that I am a big consumer of rice, pasta, and bread. But it sure is worth a try, especially if eliminating these from my diet will result to healthier, and hopefully, slimmer body.
Though this post is about Keto food, let me add a few suggestions non related to diet.
1. Practice pranayam as it relieves you of stress.
2. Drink lukewarm water first thing in the morning; it burns off your excess fat
3. If you have bottle guard available in your country, then prepare it as a food and eat it.
4. Another superfood is chirayta which is considered to help in the secretion of insulin.
Thanks for the additional information!
That is one of my wishes too! Hahaha I wish to lose weight again… and lose it for long, long time! I agree that discipline is key. I wonder if I can go back to my old size by December.
Oooh I didn’t know the Keto diet was originally designed for epileptic patients. I hope this isn’t another fad diet though! I’ve been meaning to try a lot of diets but they sure cost a lot! 😀 I’ve always struggled to lose weight, hindi ko mahanap yung diet na sakto sakin, I always end up giving in to my hunger and cravings!
Loosing weight – That is a daily struggle unfortunately. I have to keep checking what I am eating and with age the process has become more cumbersome.
My greatest sorrow is not able to munch of stuffs whenever I please. Thanks to your motivational post it helps me keep check.
