Since a lot of people have been seeing great success on a ketogenic diet, you thought you’d give it a try. But maybe you’re not finding it as magical as everyone is claiming it to be, maybe you even gained a few pounds since starting. It’s okay! There are several reasons a person can have trouble on a ketogenic diet, and today we’re going to talk all about that. Listen in as Tony and Nissa discuss the three biggest reasons you’re not succeeding at Keto.

Many find success on keto since once they get rid of the processed carbs they previously lived on and replace those processed foods with real food options that keep them satiated longer, so the constant hunger felt by many dieters and cravings simply vanish.

And while that’s a great happily ever after story, there are still many hopeful ketoers that go into keto hoping their cravings will vanish so they can get the same big results they keep hearing about, but a week or two into following keto, cravings take over and they find themselves head first in a greasy bag filled with burgers and an extra large fry. 

Today in Part 2 we’re going to explore why some people’s cravings vanish after a few days into the plan, while others struggle with keto since the bag of stale chips hidden in the back of your pantry keeps calling your name.

In this episode:

• Keto is a plan that once you commit to it, you have to be committed
  
• Your body looks at the overall progress – so it sums up the good choices and the bad choices, and that’s your result on your plan
• It’s especially important to not cheat on a keto plan since it takes time for your body to learn how to run on fat for fuel
• You may even gain weight with this pattern since too much fat throughout the week and too many carbs on the weekend can be a recipe for weight gain
