Ketosis has become a massive trend in recent years, highly popular amongst celebrities and people looking for big changes in their body and diet. But many often relapse back into an even worse diet than they were eating before ketosis because they are unable to handle the extremity of limiting carbohydrates and sugar. Therefore, we’ve collated some things to be aware of to help you try a ketosis diet safely and enjoyably.

1. Be organised with your new diet

While ketosis is widely known for its low carbohydrate, high protein and high fat diet, there are different ratios that different people follow. The recommended ratios are between 70-80% fat, 10-20% protein and 5-10% carbohydrates each day. We recommend organising your ketosis diet by creating a meal plan each week so you can stick to your meals, prepare the ingredients and be aware of exactly how you are carrying out ketosis within your body.

2. Don’t eliminate carbs!

Ketosis is hugely known for its carbohydrate restriction but it never requires them to be eliminated. Carbohydrates are essential for energy to fuel your body, and ketosis allows carbs in healthy natural forms like vegetables, but certain ones like broccoli, asparagus and cauliflower rather than potatoes. ensuring you are using your allowance of carbohydrates allows you to do ketosis safely and with less chance of caving into cravings.

The ratio percentages above are a great guideline for carrying out ketosis, but if you are new to the ketosis diet or your usual diet relies on a lot of carbohydrates, start by simply increasing your fat and protein intake so you are consuming more than you are carbohydrates. As you get used to this new lifestyle, you can adhere more to the guidelines to put your body into ketosis more effectively.

3. Understand your reasons for doing ketosis

Ketosis can drastically change the diets of most who try it, which can cause you to lose motivation. A great way to continue through the difficulties of the ketosis diet is to set goals. Are you doing it to lose weight? Are you just doing it to try something new? Whatever your reason, have that at the forefront of your mind and make sure you understand how ketosis is going to help you achieve that goal.

4. Support ketosis with our supplements

At Health Mantra, we source GTF Chromium Complex Capsules, which contribute to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. It is important to monitor your glucose levels on the ketosis diet since you are reducing your carbohydrate and sugar intake, but these need to be replaced with something that will contribute to a healthy lifestyle and not by you consuming additional processed carbohydrates and sugars again. These capsules also contribute to the metabolism of fatty acids and macronutrients, which includes burning calories for energy and thus supporting a ketosis diet. You can buy our GTF Chromium Capsules here.
