Episode Highlights
- 🧠 Ketosis Is More Than Cutting Carbs – It’s a metabolic shift that requires balancing fat, protein, and carbs—not just slashing sugars.
-
🥴 Keto Flu Hits Hard – Fatigue, brain fog, and irritability can derail your progress if you don’t replenish electrolytes and hydrate properly.
-
⚠️ Hidden Carbs Sabotage Progress – Sneaky sugars in sauces, deli meats, and “low-carb” snacks kicked me out of ketosis more than once.
-
🍳 Fat Adaptation Takes Time – Your body needs weeks (not days) to become efficient at burning fat for fuel—patience is key.
-
🍽️ Social Situations Were Tough – Navigating restaurants and family dinners challenged my willpower and taught me how to advocate for my choices.
-
🧾 Labels Lied to Me – Learning to decode ingredient lists and net carbs was a game-changer. “Healthy” didn’t always mean “keto.”
-
🏠 My Kitchen Needed an Overhaul – Tossing grains and sugars, stocking essentials, and investing in a food scale made keto sustainable.
-
💸 Budget Surprises Caught Me Off Guard – Keto can be affordable, but I had to learn where to shop smart and prep ahead.
-
📲 Tracking Was My Secret Weapon – Using macro-tracking apps helped me stay accountable and uncover hidden patterns in my eating.
