Here are 7 healthy eating hacks:
1. If you go off the plan, get right back on! This is a big problem many people have around the holidays. If you break your meal plan on Thanksgiving, don’t give up! Get right back on your meal plan the next day. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to get back on keto.
2. Keep keto-friendly desserts on hand This is another big thing to remember during the holidays. Always have keto-friendly desserts and treats close by, especially if you’re easily tempted by things like Christmas cookies. You can order keto treats online or make them at home. Here’s a link to some of my favorite recipes: https://www.drberg.com/ketogenic-diet-meals-recipes/desserts.
3. Weekly eating plan (keep it simple) Always have a plan ahead of time, so you know what to eat and when. If you don’t have a plan, it’s going to be much more difficult to stick to healthy keto. Just remember to keep it simple. If you need help making a plan, check out this link: https://www.drberg.com/blog-article/ketogenic-diet-plan.
4. Study the topic you have trouble with As you go on your healthy keto journey, you’re going to run into something that you have a problem with—whether it’s salt, cravings, or an addiction to french fries. More than likely, I have a video to help you with the problem you’re having.
5. Avoid environments that will throw you off It goes without saying that that you should avoid hanging out at the all-you-can-eat buffet on the weekends. But you should also avoid going to places that have tempting aromas. For instance, if you’re going to the mall, avoid walking through the food court.
6. You do the cooking (for social events) You probably know that most social events offer zero food options that are low-carb or keto-friendly. If you can, bring a healthy food option or host at your own home so you can prepare keto-friendly foods.
7. Realize it’s 1000x easier to maintain healthy eating than to get out of a disease! What you eat today determines your health tomorrow. If you don’t want to have issues with your health, you have to eat healthily. Disease is most often created by bad eating habits.
