🫀 Care for Your Body
When I began reducing carbohydrates, the changes to what I ate happened gradually rather than through a strict plan. I wasn’t trying to follow rigid rules, but I did notice that certain patterns started to emerge as I aimed to stay as close to keto as possible.
It quickly became clear that focusing on whole, natural foods made things much simpler. Many processed foods contain added sugars, and I also became more mindful of how much sugar is naturally present in fruit. To make things easier day to day, I started batch cooking so that I always had something nutritious available. This helped me avoid reaching for foods that were higher in carbohydrates when I was tired or short on time.
I also increased my protein intake and added healthy fats to my meals, which made them feel more satisfying. Vegetables were mostly in the form of salads, and I chose to omit foods such as potatoes, bread, rice, and pasta. Rather than feeling restrictive, this shift felt more like a simplification of what I was eating.
I’m sharing this not as a template for others, but as a reflection on how my eating habits naturally adapted as I explored keto. Paying attention to these changes helped me feel more prepared and supported, rather than relying on willpower alone.
