Chapter 6: Week 1 of the Plan

The first week of the 30-day ketogenic diet is going to be the hardest for you because it will be the basic transitioning week. This is why it needs to be simple and as convenient as possible.

Start on the Weekend

Instead of starting the keto diet on a weekday, you should opt for the weekend. Why is that? For starters, you won’t have any office to attend on the weekend, so you will have plenty of time at your disposal to devote to making new meals for the plan. Secondly, you would be able to unwind on the weekend and become stress-free. This means you would be able to focus on starting your keto plan better.

Choose a few recipes and prepare about five to six different meals for the entire week. Divide them in small portions and store them in airtight containers. Refrigerate them and use them during the week.

Insight into the 3 Meals

For breakfast, you could eat egg whites, any type of meat you like, nuts and fruits that are allowed, permitted vegetables and a cup of black coffee or tea.

Your lunch needs to be heavy. A generous piece of any type of meat you like covered in high-fat dressings and paired with a delicious salad would work well for lunch.

Your dinner should be similar to the lunch, but should include more vegetables, preferably the leafy greens.

There won’t be any dessert during the first week. You can snack occasionally throughout the day, like on the allowed nuts, veggies/fruits, or boiled eggs. Opt for nuts or a fruit or any other food that is allowed in the plan.

Keto Flu

One thing to prepare for is the possibility of you getting the ‘keto flu.’ It is the condition wherein you will experience the different side effects that come with the implementation of the keto diet. It is mainly characterized by brain fogginess, headaches, and fatigue. You can feel lethargic and sick, and will often consider abandoning the diet, but you have to keep going to achieve your goals! Know that it’s only temporary.

Remember to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Drinking at least two to three liters of fluids, most of which should be water, will help you stay calm even with the keto flu. Coconut water is a great alternative too. This diet is a diuretic, so you’ll be urinating frequently. As you will be peeing out a large amount of electrolytes, you will become dehydrated and experience headaches and dizziness. This is why drinking lots of water is essential during the diet, especially in the first week. You can sprinkle a little salt on the water, or just eat salt separately as you would need to replenish it in your body as well. The headaches won’t completely vanish until the end of the second week most probably, but you will be able to deal with them easily by increasing your salt and water intake, and resting well.
