Keto diet is one of the greatest diets out there with scientific backing to its viability. If you are here I assume you know what keto diet is but if you still have no clue check our website here for clarity: 30DAYFITNES .
Our Keto Kenya challenge is a good way for beginners to get a start on the ketogenic diet
Keto diet or the low carb diet though being helpful its also not without its draw backs, and here are some important things you absolutely need to know before you start the low carb keto diet.
1. Keto diet suppresses hunger
While on a keto diet you should expect to be virtually not hungry at all, why is this you might ask?
This is because the metabolic state of ketosis works great to keep hunger pangs at bay since burning fat will keep your blood sugar levels more stabilized. The fats will then turn into ketones by your liver, resulting in feeling less hungry.
2. Weight loss on keto diet happens quick
So while on a keto diet expect to lose weight quick some people have reportedly lost 2kg in one week
But keep in mind this drastic loss is mostly water weight. as when your on a carb rich diet the body stores a lot of water, now that your body is denied carbs the water goes away with it to
Even if the rate at which you lose weight slows down, stay positive! Trading carbs for more healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables will leave your appetite suppressed and keep you slimming down.
3. Keto flu exists
As the name suggests, the keto flu is a bundle of flu-like symptoms many new to the keto diet will experience within the first days of starting, which can last a week or two.
A few of the most common symptoms include nausea, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea, poor focus, dizziness, and irritability.
The keto flu occurs when your body first begins to transition to burning fat for fuel instead of carbs—which is the crux of the ketogenic diet.
You can avoid Keto Flue by increasing your water intake, taking MCT oils, transitioning slowly by starting off with eating clean carbs, and incorporating gentle exercise.
4. some other benefits of keto diet
besides weight loss expect to also have your health improved as keto kenya gives the following benefits:
- May help reduce risk of heart disease
- Reduces insulin and blood sugar levels
- Can lower blood pressure
- Reduces the “bad” LDL cholesterol
5. Supplements on keto are your friends
As like any diet supplements will be your best friends as it is likely you will have some nutritional deficiencies but don’t worry nothing too serious.
At the minimum MTC oils, Magnesium and Zinc are required
6. Eat a lot of Fish
Fatty fish and shellfish are great for the keto diet and are super healthy for you. Not only are they high in fat, but also contain plenty of potassium, selenium, and B vitamins. Best of all? They’re mostly carb-free. Some excellent seafood options are salmon, mackerel, trout, tuna, shrimp, and mussels.
7. Dairy isn’t the best on keto
If you start the keto kenya challenge is good to know that dairy and its products mostly aren’t good for you at all.
Dairy is not the best on the keto diet, although you will find cheese lovers encouraging it! One of the commonest reasons why people do keto is weight loss and hormonal balance.
Most of cow’s hormones are passed through the milk, a reason you should avoid milk and milk products. Just three weeks without milk products can yield a lot of health benefits.
The only recommended milk is maternal milk (Mother milk). A cow is not your mother! 🤢
8. Eggs are the best
Eggs contain less than one gram of carbs, this makes it super friendly for the keto kenya diet
But also keep in mind its only good in moderation, don’t go drown your self in eggs in the name of they are god for keto
9. Not all fruits are your friend
The topic of fruits isn’t well understood but I’m here to tell you today to be careful. fruits like watermelons are very very low carb fruits for example 100 g of it contains 8grams of carbs

10. No sodas or juice on the keto diet
Sorry soda lovers, but water—sparkling or still—is the #1 drink when going keto. Feel free to spice things up by enjoying unsweetened tea, which is perfectly fine as long as you don’t add any sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Plain Coffee is also fine on the keto diet with a splash of Keto Collagen & MCT Powder. Bulletproof coffee is a popular option amongst keto dieters.
