The Most Common Reason That Keto Diets Fail
It may not be what you think!
Many people say that the keto diet doesn’t work because of all the extra calories you take in from a high-fat diet.
However, the most common reason the diet fails is that people still take in too many carbohydrates a day.
This means it’s impossible for your body to get into ketosis.
Instead, your body tries to live off the lack of carbs you are feeding it. This leaves your body feeling like…
The crucial thing to get into ketosis when you start the keto diet is to eat fewer than 20 net carbs a day.
Therefore, having a go-to list of easy keto breakfast recipes is important to make sure you start the day on the right foot!
Remember:
Net carbs = Total carbs – fiber – sugar alcohols (for processed food only).
