3 fundamental mindsets For Keto Diet
These are the three fundamental mindsets that will ensure success with the keto diet
Although I don’t know how many diets you have tried, let me tell you that if you don’t have the right mindset, you are unlikely to succeed. If you are like most people, your experiences will be very similar. You’re excited about the diet, and you soon follow the instructions.
You start to lose weight thanks to your strict dietary guidelines and your keen compliance. So far so good, right? This continues for a few days or weeks more. However, sooner or later the pounds will start to come back.
Then, it gets worse. Your diet starts to make you gain more weight than before. Isn’t that the point of a diet? Unfortunately, many diets can lead to more weight, which is frustrating.
People fall into this tragic and common pattern because they lack the right mindset. It doesn’t really matter if you want to follow the Atkins or keto diets, the Ornish diet, or any other weight loss program. Without the right mindset you will lose.
You should at the very minimum adopt three mindsets that will make your keto diet a success.
Mindset #1
You can do it!
It is easy to get excited by the testimonials in diet books. The before-and-after photos can get you excited. Many of these pictures are exaggerated. Many books that are extremely shady use photoshopped images.
It’s quite shocking, I know. It’s difficult to believe that anyone would do this, but it happens. A little bit of skepticism can go a long ways in helping you to be skeptical. But don’t let the fact that it works for others fool you. Instead, think about the possibility that this diet could work for you.
You, as an individual, are responsible for that. You’re only making it more difficult for yourself if you don’t get that and can’t accept the possibility of a weight-loss plan waiting for you. It’s similar to trying to play basketball while trying to pass the ball through the hoops.
What happens if you are thinking in your back of your mind, “Other people shoot really well but not me?” Your shooting accuracy will drop. You are sabotaging your own self-interest. You are making it unnecessarily difficult for yourself.
It is important to believe that the keto diet can work for you. We are not talking about the testimonials or the case studies. It’s going be tough for you if you don’t believe this assumption.
Mindset #2
Start with what you already have
People who fail to succeed with diets often believe they must transform themselves into someone else. Or, they may believe their situation or circumstances must change in order to succeed.
People think like this because they are giving themselves excuses for not trying or expecting bad results. This is why I understand people doing it. It’s easy to get jaded if you’ve been disappointed by every diet.
It’s quite common to expect failure in many cases. You’ve already gone through the process of losing weight and then gaining it back. It’s a familiar story and it’s only a matter time before your heart breaks again.
To ensure your ultimate success, you need to make every change possible. You’re making it unnecessarily difficult on yourself. This doesn’t have be the case. To create optimal conditions, you don’t need to move heaven or earth.
Why? There are no perfect conditions. You will never have the right circumstances to succeed. This is a risk you have to take. You will need to start with what you already have.
It doesn’t really matter what level of discipline you have. It doesn’t really matter what is happening in your life. It doesn’t really matter if you feel happy about yourself. It doesn’t matter if you feel good about yourself.
Mindset #3
You can enjoy your food according the rules that you set
Control is another key “pillar” to success on the keto diet. Many people give up on their diets thinking that they are forcing them to follow a strict diet. They might not like certain tastes, but because they are switching to a different diet, they force their taste buds to accept a wider range of flavours.
It’s only a matter time before your old self comes back. It will only take a few months before you can eat the way you used to. This can be very frustrating. It can feel like you are doing well and making changes. Then suddenly your old self comes back. You end up right where you started.
It is important to enjoy your food. This isn’t an ordeal. This is not a punishment. You should not feel guilty about your choices. The keto diet should not be considered a deprivation of taste. Enjoying your food according the keto diet is all that matters.
First, you must choose the keto rules. First, you must decide if you want to follow the keto diet. Then, you can choose based on your current tastes. You don’t have to be someone else. You don’t have to change your tastebuds. You don’t have to change your taste buds. Instead, enjoy the flavors you already love.
Here’s the problem: even if your sweet tooth is a problem, you will have to reduce it. This is the only thing that can be changed, but everything else should be okay, regardless of whether you enjoy sour, salty, or certainly fatty foods. You should be fine as long as your sweet tooth is controlled.
If you want to succeed with the keto diet, keep these mindsets in mind. These mindsets can be adopted quickly, I won’t lie to you. You have had these mindsets for a while. You are used to thinking about food in a certain way.
If you can change your mind according to these 3 key pillars, the keto diet will be easier and more likely to stick.
