8 EASY KETOGENIC HACKS EVERY BEGINNER NEEDS TO KNOW
1. EAT EGGS AND BACONS FOR BREAKFAST INSTEAD OF CEREALS
Yes, when you have a busy morning, it's so much easier to grab a box of cereal for breakfast. But many cereals are rich in sugar and carbohydrates which may make you hungry more quickly and high sugar in cereals will spike your insulin level, which will result in your energy level to spike and crash after.
2. REPLACE PASTA WITH VEGGIE PASTA
If you really love pasta, you don’t have to give it up. You simply need to revamp your pasta meal a little and create vegetable pasta or use an alternative options . You can use spaghetti squash which will give you a similar taste and texture as spaghetti. First cook the vegetable in microwave or roast it in the oven and shred it with a fork. Then, you can either saute it together with tomato sauce, some meat, and fresh herbs to make it a pasta meal which is simple and easy to make!
3. PLAN AND PREPARE YOUR MEAL FOR THE WEEK
Not only eating out will add to your overall bills, generally food prepared at restaurants oftentimes are high in sodium
4. REPLACE SUGARY FOODS WITH HEALTHIER OPTIONS
Just because you’re on a Keto diet doesn’t mean you can no longer eat sweet foods. There are great alternatives for your favorite desserts that are healthier and still sweet-tasting. If you are baking, you can replace general butter with almond butter, or cooking oil with coconut oil, and chocolate powder with cocoa powder, and still whip out a keto-friendly dessert.
5. STOP DRINKING SODA AND OTHER BEVERAGE THAT ARE HIGH IN ACID
Instead of sweetened teas and coffees and your favorite soda drinks, try to opt for healthier drinks like protein shakes, almond milk, and green tea.

7. SELECT ONLY THE LOW-CARB VEGETABLES WHEN PREPARING YOUR VEGETABLE RECIPE
Not all vegetables are low in carb. When cooking a meal, try to use more low-carb vegetables rather than vegetables that are high in carb. Some of the low-carb vegetables that you can consider when preparing a meal are artichokes, broccoli, cabbage, eggplant, tomatoes, green beans, and mushrooms.
8. EAT MORE SEA FOODS, POULTRY, AND LEAN MEAT
Sea foods are very Keto-friendly food options as they are rich in protein and do not contain carbohydrates or sugar. And meat and poultry are staple foods for a Keto meal plan. They are great sources of protein and also rich in vitamin B, which are important for your Keto diet.
