How to Stick to Your New Year's Resolution Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

We talked a little bit about New Year's resolutions on the last episode, but since we're already 5 full days into the new year, a good portion of people who listened to that episode started their brand new keto lifestyle with good intentions, but since it's been 5 days, they're already back to eating all of the junk that led them to trying out keto in the first place … or they're at least considering going back to that lifestyle while searching for a new diet that's easier to follow than keto.

So let's talk about how to stick to your New Year's resolution this year!

In this episode:

Sobering statistics on New Year's resolutions
Making your goals S.M.A.R.T.

Kick Off Keto with a Low Carb Plan Dec 29, 2020

Show notes

It's New Year's resolution time, so that means it's time for everyone to take a vow to jump right back into strict keto. This will allow you plenty of time to hit your beach body goals, if in fact the beaches actually open up this year.

But if you're brand new to keto, or if you've followed keto in the past but you're struggling to get back on track, jumping straight into strict keto macros might not be the best plan for you.

Listen in as we discuss how using a Low-Carb Plan can set you up for a successful Keto Plan.

In this episode:

Some sobering statistics on New Year's resolutions
Why start with Low-Carb when you can go big with Keto?
How to start a Low-Carb Plan
The benefits of using a food journal
How many carbs is considered low-carb?
What about calories?
When is it time to switch from a Low-Carb Plan to Keto?

Alcohol on keto Nov 17, 2020

What's the deal with alcohol on keto? This question came up quite a few times in our most recent Keto Challenge - so our challengers already know the answer, but we wanted to pop in to help all of our podcast listeners who haven't quite taken the plunge into the challenge. While we don't recommend drinking regularly when first starting keto, that doesn't mean people won't still drink - especially when life gets stressful, and as we get closer to the holidays.

Alcohol as a toxin
Is mixing liquor with diet soda better?
Is wine really good for you?
