KETO DIET PLAN

Choosing the right keto diet plan is important. I would say that all keto plans I have come across work; however, the key is not if they work but if they work for you. Finding a plan that works for you can be the difference between liking keto or hating it, continuing or giving up, the plan being easy or hard, enjoyable or an endurance test. Here is a breakdown of the types of keto diets you can have access to and also a guide to help you find out your dieting style.

Finding your Keto dieting style

Here is a rundown of different preferences people have when it comes to finding their keto dieting style. This is not an exhaustive list; however, I hope this will bring insight and allow you to see that the issue of not being able to stick out a diet might not be you at all but that you have selected the wrong diet for your needs.

Food Preferences

Love heaps of meat or dislike red meat
Love veggies or can’t stand them
Love dairy or can’t tolerate dairy
Prefer clean food or love eating dirty

Food Restrictions

Gluten intolerant
Insulin resistant
Dairy intolerant
Nut allergy
Vegan
Vegetarian

Eating/lifestyle preferences

Prefer eating small meals or love big meals
Love cooking or hate cooking
Like to be told what to eat and when
Prefer to have the flexibility to choose what and when to eat
Time poor so prefer shakes
Open to fasting or hate it
Health-focused or prefer to be convenience-focused
Need “family-friendly” foods & meals or prefer meals that cater for single use
Has to be cost-effective
Needs the ability to dine out
Take some time to reflect and choose what is important to you.
Possibly even choose 2 from each section and use them to help you choose the right keto meal plan as we look through them over the next several chapters.
