Show notes
The biggest part of a transformation is not physical; you can give someone the best meal plans, workouts, or macros for their body type but it doesn't matter unless they're able to overcome their own mental and emotional challenges. That's how you make a true lifestyle change. - Drew Manning

On this week's episode of the Open Sky Fitness Podcast, we have Drew Manning returning for the second time! In our first interview with him, we talked all about his initial Fit2Fat2Fit journey. In this episode, we're discussing all that he has done since then including the launch of his A&E show - Fit to Fat to Fit. Not only that, but we discussed what he would have done differently during his experiment including getting fit via the Ketogenic Diet. Before we knew it, we were in a deep conversation about the Keto Diet including the following topics:
- The science behind the Ketogenic Diet
- How Keto can help you get fit
- What foods you should eat and stay away from while on Keto
- How to test your Ketosis levels properly
- His top food hacks for eating Keto foods on the go
Breaking Through Mental Struggles Besides the Keto Diet and his wellness journey, Drew also shared the best way you can get out of an emotional and mental funk when it comes to focusing on your health:
- Find a support system
- Be surrounded by like-minded people who are going through similar journeys
- Have a safe place to ask questions as well as ask questions and give answers
- Sign up for something that gets you out of your comfort zone but is still challenging so that it forces you the train
- Check out private Facebook groups or coaching apps such as My Fitness Pal
These might not work for everyone but Drew has seen that it's so much more beneficial than just giving someone a 30 Day plan they do on their own.
Get Fit With Keto How can you survive the dreaded Keto Flu? What are the best foods to eat to get and stay in Ketosis?
To be in good health while experiencing the Keto Flu, there are two very important things you should do:
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
- Supplement with sodium, potassium, and magnesium to avoid an imbalance of electrolytes.
While on the Ketogenic diet, you won't be as hungry - you'll only be eating 2-3 meals a day of high-quality, healthy fat like:
- Steak
- Salmon
- Chicken thighs
- Whole eggs
- Butter
- Cream
- Coconut oil
- Ghee
- Avocado
Your diet should be 5% carbohydrates (30 grams a day or less) from nutrient-dense vegetables including:
- Spinach
- Kale
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
