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.

Subtract The Starchy Sides


Whether it’s rice, potatoes, pasta, or bread most restaurants will let you take out
the starches and maybe replace with lettuce or veggies. A bun-less burger or bread-free sandwich
is also a doable option. Many places give you the option between a wrap and a salad bowl. If it’s
not possible to switch out the starches, then you can always separate the starches once your meal
is served.
If any waiter appears judgmental, simply explain that you’re on a restrictive diet due to a medical
issue. This will help to get him on your side and accommodating your needs.

Beware Of Sauces, Condiments, Dressings, and Dips


Even though a salad may look healthy, it could be drenched in a sugary dressing.
If this is the case, it’s better to stick with extra virgin olive oil. Always avoid ketchup but feel free
to enjoy full-fat mayonnaise. With mustard, sweet things like honey-mustard tend to contain plenty
of sugars, whereas others, such as Dijon or English mustards are generally carb-free. However, one
of the best ways to boost the healthy fat content of any meal is by ordering either an appetizer or
side of guacamole, since the key ingredient is avocados.
With sauces, it can be pot-luck, which is why it’s best to do your research beforehand. While a
rack of ribs may seem like an ideal high-fat, low-carb meal, it may be coated with BBQ sauce
packed with sugars. A béarnaise sauce, on the other hand, would be a great choice as it mainly
consists of fat. If you’re unsure, ask the restaurant to leave sauces and dressings out completely.

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:

Diet sodas contain zero calories, so they won’t directly


TIPS and TRICKS

affect your ketogenic state. Be mindful, however, that the


consumption of artificial sweeteners has been proven to
affect taste palettes, leading to increased sugar cravings.

Avoid juices or smoothies with added sugars or those


that contain sugary fruits such as mangos, bananas, or
oranges. They will quickly kick you out of ketosis.

If you’re drinking alcohol, it’s best to avoid beer, cider, and


sweet wines. Hard liquor is a better choice if you want
to remain in ketosis. Dry red and white wines, as well as
low-carb beers, could be OK, provided that your plate is
relatively carb-free. Beware also that alcohol has a far
more potent and rapid effect when in ketosis. This is due
to a lack of glycogen in the body, which would normally
slow down the process.

10
Winning The Psychological Battle

When dining out, willpower and motivation are put to


the ultimate test. That’s why it helps to choose your friends wisely. Being
around other health-conscious individuals will make it easier to follow
TIPS and TRICKS

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

/ Do some Intermittent Fasting


After the carb loading you have made, your body is full of glycogen, so an Intermittent
fasting is a great option to start depleting the stored glycogen. Here’s some directions
how to best utilize this tool:
If you had your cheat meal later in the day, just don’t eat anything afterwards. If you
had it in the morning/ noon, eat protein and salads no later than 8-9 p.m. and then
stop eating for 14 (women)-16 (men) hours. It’s best to skip the breakfast. After you
wake up, have a glass of warm water, green tea and a cup of coffee. Remember not to
add any creamers, sweeteners, milk to your coffee.

/ 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.

/ Drink coffee/ use caffeine supplement


It will help you burn more fat and have more energy.

/ Eat your normal keto meals


After you break your fast, have your protein and fat-rich meals and watch your
carbohydrates closely. Eat your normal way, like you’ve never had a cheat. It’s that
simple.

/ 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!
