In an attempt to lose weight fast, people make silly mistakes while on the keto diet, so here are five to avoid.
Not Drinking Water
Including more fat and protein in your diet can cause dehydration, which is a common problem with the keto diet.
Avoiding Salt
Ketone clearance causes the body to lose sodium, and not eating salt can result in body cramps.
Ignoring Veggies
People often ignore vegetables in an effort to avoid carbs, which results in less fibre intake and problems such as constipation.
Making Drastic Diet Change
Removing carbs from your diet abruptly can cause fatigue and even prevent you from getting enough sleep.
Incorrect Macronutrient Portion
To enter the ketosis phase, your diet should contain 5-10% carbohydrates, 10-20% protein, and 70-80% fat.
Pro Tip
Changing your daily routine gradually rather than abruptly is an excellent way to avoid the pitfall and maintain consistency.
