Majority of Keto dieters do end up gaining weight post Keto due to certain reasons, lack of discipline, lack of mindful eating, no calculations, etc, to name a few. The problem isn't in the diet or any pattern followed, the problem lies with minimal awareness about what should succeed keto - which is 'Reverse Dieting'.

Read More »Ketogenic diet is all the rage right now, but one has to understand that it is not one of your typical diets. Many people also take it to be one of 'crash diets' and doubt its very credibility. It is okay to harbor certain reservations about a diet, but what is not okay is misinformation. Majority of Keto dieters do end up gaining weight post Keto due to certain reasons, lack of discipline, lack of mindful eating, no calculations, etc, to name a few. The problem isn't in the diet or any pattern followed, the problem lies with minimal awareness about what should succeed keto - which is 'Reverse Dieting'. Reverse Dieting in layman's terms refers to the 'diet' that one has to follow after a 'main diet' to ensure you don't end up losing all the 'good outcomes' from your diet.

Read More »The 'offset plan' is as important in your keto journey as is drinking enough water on keto. You simply cannot do without it. Before knowing what an offset plan is, you must know whether you should even be taking one and when. You cannot preplan an offset plan before starting a diet because there is no way to calculate what level of carbohydrates should be introduced. You must take an offset only upon reaching the desired or ideal weight. Also, you cannot put a timer on how fast you will get results on keto, so do not decide upon an offset deadline right at the beginning. Furthermore, an offset plan requires certain prerequisites. This phase of your keto journey can last anywhere from 21 to 72 days, varying from individual to individual. To reverse diet, you should have done keto for at least 60 days and be in deep ketosis for 15 days. It is one of my many challenges for a Keto Coach and diet curator to personalize an offset plan for each client, which requires regular updates from the client's end. Once you have successfully completed the offset plan, you should not attempt another go at keto for at least 3 months. You just tamed your body to get used to complex carbohydrates and must allow it to adapt efficiently to changing patterns. Also, there will be many instances when all you will want to do is the offset. I have had too many clients wanting to go off keto simply because they wanted faster results, and well, keto is not always at our beck and call. Sometimes keto is hard but it is not exactly a recreational diet. It's a metabolic state and hence getting out of it takes efforts and good back and forth calculations.

Indulging in all processed foods and simply skipping your greens: Low carb breakfast cereals, low carb lunch options, guiltless desserts, including such simple named food packets or processed foods can simply make you lazy to cook and have essential vegetables. Whole foods, be it on Keto or on a Low Carb Diet is your best alternative to anything which shows you a hope of not gaining fat. The natural resources for any human to consume are plenty on this planet and running after processed food is the last thing one should do after leaving Keto.
