Keto Diet Plan Week 3
This is a short series on how to start keto. Some of us want to jump into Keto cold turkey. Others might want to ease in. For those of you who are wondering how to start keto: Congratulations. You made it through 2 weeks of the keto diet. Depending on how aggressive you’ve been, your body should have switched over, or be switching over, to burning fat rather than carbs. At this point, you might even consider testing your ketones with ketone strips to see if you’re in ketosis yet. If you’re not, continue to decrease your carbs this week and you should get into ketosis soon. If by chance you haven’t started a keto diet or have just started thinking about keto read my Keto Diet Plan Week 1 post first. When you’re done with week 1, you can move on to the Week 2 plan to see just how easy it is to get started.

How you might be feeling this week
By week 3 the keto flu symptoms should have abated. Hopefully the gradual deletion of carbs and sugar have minimized these. You’re probably starting to feel like you can handle this. You’re not having to track your food like mad because you are becoming more comfortable with what you can and can’t have and you might start looking for substitutions for your favorite foods. Many people report that they have begun losing weight by week 3, but if you haven’t don’t get discouraged; it will come soon. By week 3 many people are able to think more clearly, sleep more deeply and report having more energy. Again, if you’re not there yet, don’t despair, just know that’s coming soon.
