+<br>Top three things you should knowWhat do I need to buy? How do I handle going out to eat? What happens if I eat something I shouldn’t? I’ve written about keto before on the blog, but as we approach the end of 2022 and many people are making resolutions for  [Supraketo](https://xajhuang.com:3100/priscillabilli) the new year, I get a lot of questions about it. Hopefully I can answer most of those here! Ketogenic diets often sound complicated. 🩺 Don’t start (or stop) a ketogenic diet without talking to a trusted medical professional. There are certain health conditions that require modifications to the common ketogenic diet. I’ve boiled down all of the questions I’ve answered via email, social media, and in person at various dinner parties when people question my unusual eating habits.

+<br>What do I need to buy? This is an easy one. You’ll find tons of products online and at your local store with "keto" on the label. If you flip them over and read the ingredients, they’re chock full of artificial sweeteners, flour substitutes, and chemicals. Although many of these won’t spike your blood sugar, many of them will! Some artificial sweeteners, like malitol, have the same effect as raw sugar, just on a smaller scale. All of these artificial foods push your keto progress backwards. You do not need keto shakes, keto fat bombs, or keto vitamins. You do not need gluten-free foods as they’re packed with carbohydrates. You need whole foods. You need high quality fats, proteins, and lower-carb vegetables and fruits. The only exception I’ll give here is that you need some high quality electrolytes, especially as you start on keto. As your body transitions from burning easily accessible glucose in your blood to burning fat, you’ll find that your salt intake will be woefully insufficient.<br>

+<br>You can make your own keto electrolytes really easily (tons of recipes available online) or find electrolyte tables/mixes without sugar. How do I handle going out to eat? Here’s a big challenge. Your friends invite you to dinner or the holidays have arrived. How do you handle it? Get a look at the menu ahead of time. Look through the menu and find items that fit your diet goals. If you find a menu item that fits all of your requirements, that’s awesome! In those situations where the main item is perfect but the sides aren’t right (fries, potatoes, rice), look for alternative side dishes that you can ask about when you get there. Worst case scenario, just ask them to skip the side dish so that you’re not tempted to eat it. Have an answer ready if people ask about your menu choices. It’s inevitable that someone will say "oh, you don’t like potatoes" or "why are you just getting a salad?<br>
+
+<br>" Have your answer ready and  [Supraketo](https://pinerolo.scuolacottolengo.org/divertiamoci-un-po/) be honest. Never say that you "can’t have" something. This makes it sound like you’re denying yourself something and it makes it difficult to stick to the diet. I remind myself that some foods look and taste delicious, but they don’t line up with my health goals, so I skip them. I tell others the same thing. Often times, I’ll say "Oh, that looks delicious, but it doesn’t fit in my diet." You don’t want to offend anyone but you also need to be honest with yourself. Save up your carbs. Going out to eat for dinner? Try to eat only fat and protein all day long and save all of your carbs for dinner. You won’t be able to go wild with your carb intake, but you can enjoy a little more then you would otherwise. Key takeaway: Your diet is your choice. It’s the same situation with someone who doesn’t drink but their friends keep offering them alcohol.<br>
