Cheating and Snacking
Keto is a little stricter than other low-carb diets so choose your snacks wisely. If your cheat meal
or snack is too carb-heavy, you can be kicked out of ketosis, and it could take days or weeks to
get back into it. The excess carbs can spike blood sugar to dangerous levels, and you could also
experience increased hunger and cravings, as well as keto flu and emotional instability. The body
can only be in one metabolic process at a time so you should not go in and out of ketosis since it
can create insulin resistance that cannot be reversed.
Sometimes, your body will let you know what you need in the form of cravings. Healthy snacks
will keep you full much longer than carb-loaded junk food, and vitamins and supplements can be
full of unhealthy fillers. Fortunately, there are many healthy snacks to choose from!
