The ONE Thing You HAVE To STOP When You Start Keto

Are you overwhelmed with where to start on your keto journey? Here's a simple yet impactful tip from the KETO-SIStas, your keto guide and mentor.

Starting a keto lifestyle can be overwhelming. It's important to focus on one thing at a time; much like when moving into a new space, you take it one room at a time. Set small, achievable daily goals and savor the satisfaction of checking them off one by one.

Beginners should embrace a simple yet powerful change when starting keto: stop drinking soda. Instead, opt for water or keto friendly alternatives to purify your drink options. By making this switch, you can reset and set yourself on the right path to success, just like decluttering one thing per day.

At first, don't overwhelm yourself with worries about macros, sweeteners, or flour swaps. Focus on eliminating soda in favor of cleaner, hydrating options can be a game-changer for anyone starting their keto journey.

Although simple, breaking your soda habit may not be easy. Substitute keto friendly options for those sugary drinks. There are carbonated beverages that use keto friendly sweeteners, and these can be a wonderful bridge from full-sugar sodas. But you still need to understand that even keto friendly sweeteners can keep you cravings sweets. Ideally, we would like to retrain the palate so that we don't actually prefer such sweet foods and drinks.

You don't have to change everything at once. As the saying goes, Rome wasn't build in a day! Making small, impactful changes at the beginning of your keto journey can set you up for success. By eliminating sugary sodas and prioritizing cleaner, hydrating choices, you can kickstart your keto lifestyle.
