Ketosis Diet is one of the most effective diets to reduce weight as well as prevent many dreadful diseases including Diabetes and some among the Cancers. You may be Quitting Keto Diet because you may have lost your wished weight. May be 10 lbs, 20 lbs depends on YOU, but one of the main disadvantage of Keto Diet is that it results in weight gaining if you just rushes to QUIT the diet.
Quitting Keto Diet does not mean to start eating junks. According to Reyna Franco, New York-based registered dietitian nutritionist, one who is not loosing anymore weight or has stopped Keto diet must not start adding Carbs immediately to their meal.
The main objective of avoiding Carbs is because of the amount of water they contain which leads to Weight Gain. A quick fluctuation in your transition of High fat and protein and Low Carbs to High Carbs may cause various Conditions like:-
• Weight Gain
• Spikes in Blood Sugar level
• Diarrhea and Stomach ache
Adding bread immediately to your diet is not advised.
So now, how will I add Carbs to my diet slowly?
It is a good practice to have 10-50g of Carbs during the transition days. Beans, sprouted breads, cashews and avocados are good to start your transition. It is beneficial to add low carb diet and hard to digest Carbs (high in protein and fiber).
More examples of Hard to Digest Carbs:-
• Legumes
• Grains
• Cereals
• Nuts
• Seeds
Gradually increase amount of Carbohydrates in your diet.
Gradually increasing the portion size than a quick change in it helps in preventing weight gain. After months or years of Keto Diet you may be tempted to those round sugary Doughnuts, but it could only make your cravings worse. These simple but highly effective mistakes may cause your diet of months and years.
It does not mean that you cannot have it for months but for few weeks.
A portion size of 30-50 grams of Carbs, 80-90 grams of protein and 100-135 grams of fat for the first 1-2 weeks is a good habit.
A portion size of 30-55g of Carbs, 80-100 grams of protein and 100-150 grams of fat for the next weeks is most preferred.
Weight loss not only depends about your body and diet but also your environment and lifestyle. Being hydrated and maintaining water level balance is a key factor. Drinking water and being hydrated helps you to be less hungry than being dehydrated.
Cheating the transition of one day may not completely ruin your practice but could result in weight gain which is not the objective of the transition. Following the transition could really benefit you.
Here is a list of 10 foods that you must avoid in transition in first few weeks:-
