- Choose plain meats with NO coatings such as bread crumbs or batters and check that no flavor enhancers whatsoever have been added to the meat.
- Stick to leafy green veggies.
- Ask for olive oil for your salad, or extra butter or mayonnaise (check the mayonnaise is the high fat variety not diet or low fat) with your meal.
- Water with lemon with your meals is a MUST!
- Coffee and unsweetened teas with lemon are fine, too.
- It really doesn’t take much to make a ‘typical’ meal keto friendly; most restaurants can accommodate meat and salads.
- Picnics & parties again can be pretty easy going if you stick to cold meats, cheeses and salads. Remember that not everything has to be between two slices of bread for you to enjoy it!
- Sometimes despite your very best efforts, you will accidentally consume grains, glutens or sugar. Is this the end of the world? Absolutely not! Once your body becomes keto-adapted, you will likely be able to get right back into ketosis within 24-72 hours.
