Keto Dieting During COVID-19
At the beginning of 2020, we all had high expectations for the year. Whether it was losing weight, eating clean, traveling more, or starting a new hobby, those plans may have derailed in a matter of months because of the Global Pandemic. In a matter of months, we went from hopeful to unsure.
With the entire world in disarray, some of us were forced out of routines. Closing essential places to maintain a healthy lifestyle like the gym, yoga studios, parks, and more. Left us with limited options to stay in shape. With nowhere to go, the motivation to maintain a diet went out of the window.
But as the World begins to open up, it is the perfect opportunity to get back on track with your healthy lifestyle. In this article, we will discuss some of our recommendations to jumpstart your Keto diet during COVID-19.
-
Set a Goal
The fastest way to fail at dieting is not setting goals, whether it's losing a certain amount of weight, increasing your endurance, or becoming more tone. Establishing a clear goal will help you stay on track when starting your Keto diet.
-
Create a Game Plan
Once you've set those goals, it's time to map out how you will achieve them. This may include doing a purge of your kitchen for any food items that don't align with your Keto Diet—creating a meal and exercise schedule, so you stay on track. Buying Keto-friendly foods include some of Genius Gourmet delicious Keto Bars and Chips.
-
Check-Ins
To keep yourself motivated while on Keto, create milestone check-ins for yourself. During these check-ins, you can take measurements of your body, weigh yourself, and make adjustments to your current goals. Although we recommend weighing yourself, the scale is not the best indicator of how well a diet is going. A better gage is the way your clothes fit, how much energy you have, and your strength and endurance if you are supplementing your Keto diet with exercise.
- Lifestyle Change
Depending on how long you plan to do Keto will determine what habits you want to maintain after the diet is complete. If you're going to reestablish carbs or other non-Keto-friendly foods back into your diet, you can do so in moderation. Instead of non-Keto-friendly options, every meal or every day reduce it two or three times per week. This way, your body can adjust to the changes but still maintain those healthy habits you have begun to build.
