It&#8217;s also been linked to many other health benefits such as improved mental clarity and increased energy levels. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critics of the keto diet point out that it can be difficult to sustain, due to its strict rules and labor-intensive meal prepping. Carbs are literally off the menu, and cravings for sweet and salty snacks can be hard to resist. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a few helpful keto diet hacks up your sleeve can make following a ketogenic diet much more sustainable. Here are 15 easy tips to help you get the most out of your keto journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=15_Keto_Diet_Hacks\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Frame_207606.gif\" alt=\"Customized Keto Meal Plan to Lose Weight\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keto_Hack_1_The_Pantry_Overhaul\"><\/span><strong>Keto Hack #1: The Pantry Overhaul<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A changing of the guard is necessary when it comes to stocking up on keto-approved foods. The old saying \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d applies here. When carb-heavy foods are easily accessible, it can be hard to resist the urge to indulge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, a pantry sweep of all the carb-filled foods, snacks and treats is a must. And because food wastage is a big no-no, consider donating non-keto food items to your local food bank. This includes canned goods and non-perishables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you want to stock up on items like healthy fats such as nuts, seeds and avocado, low-carb vegetables and fruits, nut butters, sugar-free condiments and sugar-free drinks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keto_Hack_2_Have_A_Keto_Meal_Plan\"><\/span><strong>Keto Hack #2: Have A Keto Meal Plan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effectiveness of meal planning for weight loss has been well-documented. According to a study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition Education and Physical\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activity, meal planning is associated with better dietary outcomes, better weight management and improved health. That&#8217;s probably because it gives you more control over what you&#8217;re eating, helps you resist unhealthy temptations, and can save time (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5288891\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When following the keto diet, meal planning helps to keep you on track with your daily macros (protein, fat and carbohydrate goals). It also helps to reduce the time you spend in the kitchen preparing meals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consequently, it makes the process of following a keto diet much more manageable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t need a super strict plan. A weekly outline of what you\u2019re going to eat and when is enough. That way, you can adjust and make sure that you&#8217;re staying on track with your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-chicken-salad\/\">Plan out your meals<\/a> at the start of each week and make sure to shop for all the necessary ingredients in advance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keto_Hack_3_Get_Friendly_With_Labels\"><\/span><strong>Keto Hack 3: Get Friendly With Labels<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to ensure that the food you&#8217;re buying fits with the keto diet. That means getting familiar with food labels and knowing what to look for on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common terms such as \u201csugar-free\u201d, \u201clow-carb\u201d and \u201cketo-friendly\u201d should be stamped somewhere. If the labels don&#8217;t specify keto, then check the nutrition facts panel. It should give you an indication of how many carbs per serving size. Anything more than 5g of carbs per serving is a red flag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hidden sugars and carbohydrates can be found in even the most keto-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-yogurt-2\/\">food items<\/a>. The best way to avoid being caught off guard is to become well-versed in label reading. If you\u2019re ever unsure, it\u2019s always best to turn to unprocessed, whole foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you get an idea of some hidden carb culprits, here\u2019s a quick list:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugary condiments and sauces\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hidden maltodextrin and corn starch\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processed nuts\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fruit juice or juice concentrate\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highly processed snack foods and even \u201clow-carb\u201d snack bars<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><i>Low-Carb Zucchini Fries \u2013 The Best Keto Recipe To Satisfy Your Taste Buds<\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keto_Hack_4_Use_Keto_Cheat_Sheets_To_Stay_On_Track\"><\/span><strong>Keto Hack 4: Use Keto Cheat Sheets To Stay On Track<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The keto diet is complex and it can seem confusing at times.

They can also include a breakdown of macro goals and tips on how to stay in ketosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keto cheat sheets can be printed out and kept handy in the kitchen, or you can even set up reminders for yourself on your phone or computer.

This makes it much easier to stick to your budget and avoid overspending.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, prepping also saves time. You can make meals in bulk, meaning fewer trips to the grocery store and less time spent slaving over a hot stove.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, meal prep also helps to prevent food waste. When you plan ahead it\u2019s easier to use up all of your ingredients, and avoid having to throw out food that\u2019s gone bad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you want to make <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-oatmeal\/\">keto<\/a> more affordable, here are our top meal prep tips:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set aside a few hours each week to plan and make your meals\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use recipes that call for similar ingredients\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy in bulk and freeze what you won\u2019t use right away\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double up your recipes and save some for later\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use mason jars or resealable containers to store the prepared items\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand food safety guidelines and make sure to store foods correctly<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following these tips, you\u2019ll be able to keep your keto meals on budget and enjoy delicious meals all week long!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keto_Hack_7_Invest_In_Tupperware_Especially_Lunch_Boxes\"><\/span><strong>Keto Hack 7: Invest In Tupperware (Especially Lunch Boxes)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investing in quality storage containers is non-negotiable if you\u2019re trying to make keto work. Having the right containers will help keep your meal preps fresh, and make them easier to transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, portion control becomes easier with the right containers, as you\u2019ll be able to measure out each meal or snack accurately and make sure you\u2019re eating the right amount.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When shopping for storage containers, opt for ones with airtight lids and that are labeled as freezer-safe and microwavable. This will ensure your keto meals stay fresh and are easy to reheat when you\u2019re ready to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A keto lunch box is also an incredibly useful item to have. Eating out or at work can be a challenge on keto, so having your own lunchbox will help you stay on track and make sure you always have something keto-friendly to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=15_Keto_Diet_Hacks\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47194 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207648-1024x576.png\" alt=\"keto diet hacks\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207648.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207648-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207648.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207648-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207648.png 1728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keto_Hack_8_Get_Comfortable_With_Frozen_Foods\"><\/span><strong>Keto Hack 8: Get Comfortable With Frozen Foods<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frozen foods can be a huge lifesaver for all of us, but especially those following a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-waffles\/\">keto diet<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frozen meals, veggies, seafood and meats are all incredibly easy to store and freeze-safe for months. This makes them an easy option for when you\u2019re running low on groceries or don\u2019t have time to shop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, most frozen foods are incredibly budget-friendly, so you can still get the most bang for your buck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having year-round access to seasonal fruits and vegetables without having to worry about them going bad can also be incredibly helpful. This is especially true in the summer when farmers markets overflow with delicious fruits and veggies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since most produce is frozen at the height of ripeness, you\u2019re guaranteed to get maximum flavor and nutrition out of each meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look into purchasing pre-packaged frozen meals or products with minimal ingredients. This reduces the risk of hidden carbs and makes it easier to track your macros.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-chili\/\"><i>Keto Chili: No Beans?

That&#8217;s because tracking your macros can provide you with a more accurate picture of what works for your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Macros are the nutrients that make up the energy you need to fuel your activities, and they refer to proteins, fats and carbohydrates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the type of keto diet you\u2019re following, you may need to adjust the ratio of these macronutrients. Below are the types of keto diets and the recommended macronutrient ratios (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetes.co.uk\/keto\/types-of-ketogenic-diet.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Standard keto diet (SKD):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5% carbs, 25% protein, 70% fat\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cyclical keto diet (CKD):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5-6 days of SKD and 1-2 days of higher carb intake\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Targeted keto diet (TKD):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5-10% carbs, 20-25% protein, 65-70% fat\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>High protein keto diet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5-10% carbs, 35-40% protein, 55-60% fat<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to tracking your macros, it\u2019s a good idea to also keep an eye on your calorie intake.

In the process of eliminating carbs, they may be taking out a lot of fiber that&#8217;s naturally found in whole grains and other carbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber is an important part of a balanced diet, as it helps to keep you full, reduce the risk of constipation and lower cholesterol (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/nutrition-and-healthy-eating\/in-depth\/fiber\/art-20043983\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). For this reason, it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re getting enough fiber in your diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best sources of fiber on the keto diet are non-starchy vegetables and nuts. If you\u2019re not getting enough from your diet, consider taking a fiber supplement. Just make sure to watch out for added sugar or carbs in your supplement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keto_Hack_11_Hydrate\"><\/span><strong>Keto Hack 11: Hydrate<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying hydrated is incredibly important for keto dieters for a few reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, it helps to keep you feeling full and can help prevent overeating. Second, staying hydrated helps your body process nutrients and flush waste more efficiently, which can help reduce fatigue and brain fog. Finally, it can help to keep your electrolyte balance in check (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncoa.org\/article\/10-reasons-why-hydration-is-important\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to drink at least eight glasses of water a day (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncoa.org\/article\/10-reasons-why-hydration-is-important\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). And if you\u2019re feeling extra thirsty, consider adding electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or bone broth to your diet. Here are some hydration tips to help you stay on track:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carry a water bottle with you at all times.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always drink water before meals and snacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat foods with a high water content, like cucumbers and melons.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep track of your daily water intake.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infuse your water with fruit, herbs or cucumber for a flavor boost.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keto_Hack_12_Embrace_Community\"><\/span><strong>Keto Hack 12: Embrace Community<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be difficult to stay on track with your keto diet without support.
