so I have a question is Quito too hard

is it too restrictive in this video

we’re just gonna make it a lot easier

for someone new starting on a healthy

keto plan okay number one let’s talk

about craving carbohydrates now I don’t

expect anyone to do this program

with cravings that’s impossible that’s

torture okay one thing that happens when

you start this program is your cravings

will go away completely so that’s gonna

make it really easy to do this okay plus

realize that you can do substitute foods

for just about any of the desserts or

junk food that you like okay and I’ll

put a link down below with a lot of good

ideas so we’re gonna have to get rid of

the cravings to make it easy to do okay

number two you might be too hungry and

that’s difficult because you’re

constantly hungry your blood sugar

issues whatever the way to solve that is

to add fat to the meals that’s the most

satisfying and it’s the thing that’s

gonna not trigger insulin too much so

nuts

avocado there’s a lot of different

things you can add to the meal

I think nut butters are great almond

almond butter so that would actually

make it a lot easier number three you

might love the starches okay potato rice

bread and that makes it really hard to

do this program

that’s true but there are certain foods

that will act as a substitute foods that

will greatly help you and one is our

favorite cauliflower and I know you’ve

probably already tried this a million

times but you could turn cauliflower

into almost about mac and cheese

cauliflower into an amazing pizza I mean

I have some recipes I’ll put down below

picture this cook cauliflower bacon

cream and cheese okay if that’s not

comfort food I don’t know what is it’s

actually very very delicious so you can

do some similar things that are kind of

starch like number four you don’t like

vegetables and this is making it very

difficult now why don’t you start on a

gradient and just do a small amount of

vegetables even if you do pickles or

even sauerkraut it’s a start

something is better than nothing

okay if you just can do one small salad

then start with that the salad acts as a

fiber to feed the microbes the salad

gives you nutrients in minerals that’s

why we want a certain amount of

vegetables but again start with a

smaller amount number five plan out your

day

don’t go meal to meal you’re gonna be

thrown off so for someone recently I

made it really super simple I said just

do two meals and for your lunch do four

eggs bacon and nuts okay just as much as

you want till you’re satisfied and then

for dinner do a salad chicken with nut

butter just made it super simple don’t

snack just do that and they said oh I

can do that that’s pretty simple so you

want to plan out the day so you have a

plan that’s kind of like the hidden step

before you do a program is understanding

like okay what you’re gonna be having to

prepare and what environment have to be

in to get the food because a lot of

times if you’re going for meal the meal

it’s like you’re gonna be thrown off

number six instead of starting with keto

keep your current diet in your meals

just start with in a minute fasting as a

way to enter this okay enter into this

program why is this gonna help you

because if you eat less frequent you’ll

drop insulin and that is going to make

it a lot easier to do this and it’s also

going to make you feel better so start

with just in a minute fasting so just do

two meals or even one meal and then eat

whatever you want okay as a way to kind

of start this program seven get all your

junk food out of your house you don’t

want to have it they’re tempting

yourself you don’t want it out on the

counters anything that you shouldn’t be

eating should not be in the house to

make it easier and less tempting okay

number eight hire a food service to

deliver your keto meals

okay there’s plenty of services around

find one and have them prepared for you

I mean it’s a little more expensive but

again this will make it a little bit

easier okay number nine start with the

most important thing as a starting point

which is cutting out the snacks okay

that’s the killer just by cutting out

the snacks you’ll see a huge change with

a lot of different health health things

so we want to add more fat to the meal

to prevent the need for a snack so this

means no snack between lunch and dinner

and no grazing at night okay I think if

you can apply any one of these it’ll

make it a little bit easier thanks for
