II. THE ESSENTIALS – TIPS
FOR THE VERY BEGINNING
Getting started with Keto may seem
overwhelming, but we’ve break it down for you! In fact, it’s
pretty simple! The first step is to clear your pantry, fridge
from all carb foods like bread, flour, pasta, sugar, sweets,
juices, etc.
After that,
LET’S GO SHOPPING!

1. DINING OUT ON KETO
When you’re on a ketogenic diet, dining out can put your
willpower to the ultimate test. Even though most menus tend to be rich in
carbohydrates, there are still strategies you can follow. To begin with, most
restaurants have their menus published online, meaning you can have a good
idea of what you’re going to eat before leaving the house.
7
Bump Up The Fat
Train yourself to seek out options that are high in fat, moderate in protein and low
in carbohydrates. This will give you the best chance of staying in a ketogenic state. If you’re having
beef, go for a ribeye steak. If you’re having chicken, go for dark meat over chicken breast. Salmon,
sausages, bacon, eggs, and avocados are also great food choices.
There are also ways to add fat to your meal. High in healthy monounsaturated fat, olive oil is one of
the most powerful weapons in the keto dieter’s arsenal. A generous drizzle will help to boost the
fat proportion of any plate. Some keto-dieters even carry a small bottle with them.
Most of the restaurants begin their service with bread and butter, so you can skip the bread and
add the butter to your meal when it’s served.
Unfortunately, desert is probably off the menu since virtually all items are centered around simple-
carb ingredients. That is unless you’re lucky enough to visit a restaurant that has one or two low
carb options. There’s no harm in asking.
8
Beverages
It’s especially important to stay
hydrated by drinking plenty of water when following a
ketogenic diet. While water is not the most glamorous
choice of beverage when you’re eating out, just remember:

10
Winning The Psychological Battle
your diet. Also, by explaining things early on, your company won’t get
offended when you turn down a beer.
So, what happens if you do end up binging on carbs? Remember that we’re
all human and it’s not the end of the world. Simply enjoy your evening and
let go of any anxiety. Tomorrow is a new day where you can reset your
focus and get back into ketosis.

3. HOW TO GET BACK INTO KETOSIS AFTER A CHEAT
So, it happened. You ate all the carbohydrates in the world (ha-ha!)
pizza, donuts, chocolate bar or whatever you’ve craved for.
Let us tell you something – IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL!
Read on to see how can you get back on track after you’ve slipped.
TIPS and TRICKS
/ Exercise
It’s best to do your workout after you wake up, on a fasted state. Utilize those carbs
and get some nice pump with a good gym session. You can do whole body split with
heavier weights and shorter rests. HIIT cardio is also a great option, but fasted cardio
and low-moderate activities are also fine. Stick to what works for you and won’t harm
you.
/ Hydrate
Drink plenty of water! You can add apple cider vinegar and some pink salt in it.
/ BREATHE!
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Everyone wants to enjoy some “naughty” food
sometimes. It’s not the end of the world. Don’t feel like you’re not worthy enough, that
you don’t have willpower and you are less of a human. Just follow your journey and
everything will be alright!
