Practical Tips and Tools for the Low Carb and Keto Lifestyle

Navigating a new way of eating can seem challenging at times. We’re here with practical tips, shopping lists, meal plans, and advice for dealing with social situations and dining out. Our resources are designed to make your journey smoother and simpler.

Practical Tips when eating Low Carb & Keto

When starting a low-carb or keto lifestyle, strategic meal planning, prioritizing whole foods, and staying hydrated are essential. Dining out requires careful menu choices and awareness of hidden carbs in sauces and dressings. Lastly, approach the diet as a lifestyle, knowing that consistency is key, occasional slip-ups are normal, and gradual progress towards healthier choices is a win!

Tools to help you with your Low Carb / Keto Journey

Invest in a good nutrition tracking app for your low-carb or keto journey; it allows you to monitor your daily macro and micronutrient intake. Features like barcode scanning for packaged foods and recipe calculators simplify tracking. This tool helps ensure you meet your dietary goals, making it crucial for your low-carb or keto success.

Shopping Lists

Creating a detailed low-carb or keto shopping list before grocery shopping is a game-changer; it helps you stay focused and resist carb-heavy impulse buys. Include a variety of lean proteins, healthy fats, low-carb vegetables, and keto-friendly snacks. A well-planned shopping list makes meal prep easier and helps ensure you have the right foods at hand to stay on track with your dietary goals.

Meal Plans for Low Carb & Keto

Having a structured meal plan when starting a low-carb or keto diet provides guidance and reduces uncertainty. It helps ensure you’re meeting your daily nutritional needs, while keeping carbs low and proteins and fats at the appropriate levels. As a beginner, a meal plan can simplify your journey, making it easier to stick to the diet and learn about which foods best fit this new lifestyle.

When You're Out and About

Dining out or navigating social situations on a low-carb or keto diet requires a bit of planning and mindfulness. Aim to choose dishes that are primarily protein and vegetable-based, be cautious of hidden carbs in sauces and dressings, and don’t be afraid to ask for modifications. Remember, it’s about making the best choices you can within the situation, not about perfection.

Embracing Change through Keto and Low Carb Living

Hello! I’m Claire, the founder of That D Word and a passionate advocate of how transformative low carb and Keto can be for someone who has Type 2 Diabetes.

Almost a decade ago, I found myself at a crossroads. I was struggling with high blood sugar levels and unwanted weight gain, despite following conventional diet advice. Something needed to change. After extensive research, I stumbled upon low carb and then Keto. Despite some initial skepticism, I decided to take the leap and try it for myself.

The results were nothing short of amazing.
