11 Things I Wish I’d Known Before Going Keto

8. You can successfully keto for one
While it’s certainly easier to eat ketogenically when your partner, family, housemates or other significant influence follow the same diet, it’s not impossible to keto for one. So many ketogenic recipes can be enjoyed by everyone and a number of non-ketogenic recipes can be modified to suit the keto way of eating.

There’s no need (or excuse, quite frankly) to let the diet of others deter you from staying the path. Sometimes you just have to suck it up, buttercup.

The other important thing to note is that everyone is different – be it size, weight, gender, cultural background, taste… I could be here all day listing out all the things that make us unique and still not complete a comprehensive list. My point is that the keto experience is distinctive to each individual. I encourage you to listen to the advice from those who have been following a ketogenic diet for years, actively participate in forum discussions and shared experiences all the while adjusting and refining your diet until it is tailored perfectly to you. After all, you’re the only one who will know what works best for your body. Hint: if you’ve had your hands clapped over your ears, crying “la la la la la la, not listening” for a while now, it may take a little time to get used to hearing the more subtle internal whispers. So please be patient and kind to yourself as you find your way.
