If you’re new to eating Ketogenic way of diet be prepared to know that it can take a while before your body reverts to ketones as the primary source of energy. If you are already sustaining metabolic damage from eating a processed diet full of sugar, starch and processed vegetable oils, i.e., obese, diabetics, gout sufferer or hypertension, it will take even longer period to get your body into ketosis. Such healing is very often a necessary first step to losing weight. Focus on healing rather than weight loss for the first couple of weeks!
For the first 2 weeks or so keep your food very simple; eggs cooked in butter for breakfast, tuna salad with plenty of homemade mayonnaise, avocados or some nuts and cheddar cheese for lunch and beef or chicken with cauliflower roasted in plenty of olive oil, coconut oil or butter for dinner. These maybe more for western diets but for Asians, we have a different list of food that maybe easily available and adaptable to your taste buds. Contact us if you want us to prepare for you ketogenic food.
Remember that this is a lifestyle change and it will take you several weeks to feel comfortable with eating this way and to become keto adapted.
In the first week its normal to feel headaches and migraines, skin irritation, weak and hungry as you body consume stored glucose and depletes stored glycogen. Don’t skimp on the fat and salt (chicken broth is good to sip on) because as your body burns through its stored glucose, you’ll also be losing alot of water and salt too. Be sure to take your vitamins too. Eat plenty of of high fat and low carbohydrate food.
Do not need to do calorie counting for the first two weeks. You want to focus on eating correctly in week 1 & 2 and becoming familiar with eating more fat and far fewer carbs. Eating Ketogenic way is a lot easier than eating low fat steam bland food.
