ICYMI, the keto diet requires you to cut lots of carbs. 'As you can imagine, shifting one’s dietary pattern from a higher carbohydrate intake to a very low one and significantly upping the fat intake can be challenging. 'While our bodies’ preferred energy source is glucose (the breakdown of carbohydrates), following the keto diet the way it is intended will put a person in ketosis,' says Jordan Hill, RD, CSSD, of Top Nutrition Coaching. There's no way to sugar coat it: Following the keto diet is hard work, which is why some people have turned to keto pills and supplements to stay in ketosis, where your body burns fat instead of carbs for fuel.
If you have recently started the keto diet, you have probably done a total overhaul of your diet.
