Try and create a grocery shopping list of what you're going to be able to use more of in place of something else. The best way to start doing this is by eliminating products that contain starches and sugars, including things like sugar and honey.

Another great ketogenic hack is to start thinking about the meals you can make from scratch instead of buying too many prepared food options or ready made meals from a supermarket.

4. Do your research before visiting Restaurants

You can still go out to your favourite restaurants when on the Keto Diet, but you will have to make sure they can cater to your new Diet.

Restaurants have gotten better over the years and will often cater to specific diets or can make adjustments to help you out.

A few options you can ask for which make a big difference are.

• Replacing burger buns or bread for lettuce wraps
• Asking for water instead of soda drinks
• Asking the staff not to add sugar to any hot drinks
• Asking the waiter for any sauce on the side so you can have only a little bit of it

5. Check out your Drinks sugar content

When its comes to drinks your in luck the diet drinks world has been going for decades and you can find sugar free drinks around every corner.

Whilst these may not be the healthiest options you can use them for a quick pick me up from their caffeine content.

When it comes to Alcohol its a little bit more tricky, some drinks are high in sugar others like Whiskey are almost carb free. Other low options include rum, whiskey, vodka, and other pure forms of alcohol.

However, if you prefer beer, stick with low-carb options, for keto wines, go for dry wines since these have the lowest amounts of sugar, or even better go for alcohol free which often have even less sugar.

Drink lots of water within the first few weeks to stay hydrated. The first few weeks your body will loose its glucose store which are held in water, this means you will loose a around 6lbs of water, this is perfectly safe, and it happens during long endurance sporting events.

But you will need to drink more water to stay hydrated, for best results as well eats food or take supplements such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium especially after exercising.

Taking exogenous ketones means that your body can enter into a state of ketosis faster since these substances raise ketone levels in the body.

Taking this supplement is beneficial for people beginning the keto diet who need some extra help to bring their level of ketone bodies up and thereby kick-starting the process of entering into a fat burning and producing state.
