I have friends who've gone Keto and eventually gave up the lifestyle due to the following factors:
1. It's expensive.
2. The menu is very limited and more challenging than a high protein-low carb diet.
3. Chicharon. Cheese. Bacon. Yup. That's pretty much it.
What does this tell us? It's that people are less likely to stick to a diet that is restrictive such as Keto.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not trying to shame those who are into Keto. The point I'm trying to make is all restrictive diets, whether Keto or not, are not sustainable. Take it from someone who has tried 7 diets in a span of 8 years. After all that yoyo experience, I decided to just stick to 'eating in moderation.'
But hey, if Keto works for you, congratulations. If not, here's an alternative that you can look into and it's Diet Diva's GLOW meal plan.
In a nutshell, GLOW is a low- calorie meal with a balanced portion of carbs, protein, and fat to give you all the nutrients you need to keep you satiated. It has a slightly higher portion of carbs compared to Keto, but relatively low carb compared to a regular meal plan. GLOW meal plans only provide a maximum of 1,200 calories per day.
How it is an alternative to Keto? Glow is also low carb like Keto; that's their common denominator making the former an easier alternative for the latter.
Here's a sample meal plan:
MONDAY- I'm living for the grilled chicken and cauliflower rice meal!
TUESDAY: Sweet potato is always a good way to have your carb fix without the high glycemic index.
WEDNESDAY: If I'm not mistaken, the pasta is egg noodles; great way to trick my mind into thinking that I'm eating 'carb'!
THURSDAY: Carb all throughout, but still my day is pretty much low carb. Don't you just love that!??
FRIDAY: That yogurt parfait is DA BOMB
Glow gives you variety and keeps you satisfied while still staying low carb. It's best for people who are easing into Keto, who want/need to take a break from Keto, or those who want to eat simply low carb.
