Strong cravings hit us all. If you're new to keto, you’ve been keto for a few months or a while and managing it can be really, really challenging! If you understand why you are craving and apply the right strategies, I know you can stay on track and maintain ketosis. One of which everyone has available in their kitchen.
First you need to understand keto cravings.
When you start keto, your body's switching from burning sugar for fuel to burn fat called ketones. That is quite the shift if you have been burning sugar for energy, and your body has to adapt to the new energy source. So this is why, more than often, your body is having strong cravings. The fact your reading this shows your fighting it and need answers, so here are some common causes that you might need to adjust today in you keto journey:
1️⃣ Electrolyte Imbalance: Switching to ketosis can actually lead to you having low sodium levels, magnesium, and potassium, all of which can trigger your cravings.
2️⃣ Not Enough Fat: That might be shocking, but this can actually trigger your cravings because if you don’t have enough fat, you might be craving carbs!
3️⃣ Dehydration: I think we can all be guilty of this. We are eating because we think we are hungry but we are actually thirsty.
How to Stop Cravings
✅ Increase Healthy Fat Consumption: Incorporate more sources of fat like avocados, nuts, and olive oil to keep your cravings satisfied.
✅ Maintain Electrolytes Balance: Don’t skip salt, ensure you have enough of sodium, magnesium, and potassium to stop that imbalance.
Top Tip: Salt, lemon juice and water is a fantastic homemade electrolyte!
✅ Stay Hydrated: Sip water throughout the day so you don’t mistake thirst for hunger.
Top Tip: If you think you're hungry, have a glass of water and if you’re still feeling hungry 20 mins later, then you are indeed hungry. But if those cravings go away, you are thirsty.
