In this video we are going to cover the 5 most common mistakes that people do when they start on keto.

I have found the keto diet a few months ago and I have become a keto enthusiast. 

So here are the 5 most common mistakes people make when starting on Keto:

1. No studying about the Ketogenic diet

I have seen people how just try keto diet for a short period and then they say oh i didn't work for me. The keto diet is not a simple diet and there is a lot of details to it and there is a lot to learn, but I promise you its going to be worth it. 

2. Assuming that you're going to loose weight just because you're on a ketogenic diet. 

Just because you're on a ketogenic diet it doesn't mean that you are going to lose weight. All that the ketogenic diet does is that it put your body into another gear and instead of burning sugar it starts burning fat for energy. And to loose weight you have to burn more calories than you take in. you don't necessarily have to do calorie counting, but you will have to do more than just being on the keto diet. But it will be really easy on the ketogenic diet.

3. The keto diet is a lifestyle change

I have some friends who wanted to try some keto food to see if the keto diet was something for them. Well it doesn't work like that. The keto diet is a lifestyle change and just to go into ketosis for the first time can take up to 6 weeks if you are older and have been on a lot of carbs.

So if you want to try keto for 2-3 days to see if it works for you then just quit now and turn off this video and forget about this whole thing. 

4. Not eating enough vegetables on the ketogenic diet

You have to eat a lot of low carb vegetables. You have to avoid things with starches. Avoid corn, beans, and potato even though potato is not even a veggie. 

A lot of people can get constipated on the keto diet, because of the lack of veggies. So avoid this mistake and eat lots of veggies.

Try veggies like cucumber and tomatoes, onion and salads.

5. There is no there is no in-between on the keto diet

There is no grey on the keto diet. You have to eat below 30 gr of carbs per day. Many people make the mistake that they don't keep track of their carbs and then they get hidden carbs. You have to be consistently super low carb for weeks just to go into ketosis. And everytime you cheat it can take days for your body to go back to ketosis. 

But trust me you will be very much worth it. When on the keto diet you will experience:

-a much healthier lifestyle
-much better mental quality
-much higher energy levels for your body


but you have to go all in.
