Today is the day to celebrate your accomplishments, as well as acknowledge any old habits that may be holding you back. In other words, it’s time to have a real honest talk about moderation.
When it comes to eliminating grains and sugars from your diet, moderation is a losing strategy on a biochemical level. If you are “trying pretty hard to cut back” on your carb intake, allowing old habits to gradually dwindle away instead of eliminating them immediately, you are likely not going to get the results you aspire to this month, or any time in the near future.
Not to freak you out or anything, but if you start introducing a bunch of new high-fat keto foods into your diet while making a mediocre effort to cut back on grains and sugars, you may find yourself gaining weight. Steak and eggs is a winning keto breakfast, but if you have steak, eggs, a bowl of cereal, a piece of toast and a glass of juice, the insulin response from the carbs on the menu will transport the high-fat foods right into your fat cells. Eating for ketosis to lose body fat is an all or nothing operation when it comes to getting your carb intake into the right zone for fat loss and healing.
