If you set yourself a goal while losing weight, make sure that the goal is realistic. You can not lose 10 pounds within one month if you follow the keto diet, at least if you do it in a healthy way. If you already manage, the kilos will not disappear forever. Rapid weight loss is always more moisture loss and decrease of muscle mass than real loss of fat mass. Try to set a goal that is realistic and achievable in advance. Also consider how long you want to do it in order to achieve this target weight.
Set small goals
If you set realistic goals, you can set several smaller goals. As a result, you always have a small success once another goal is achieved. If you know how many kilos you want to weight lose during the keto diet and in how much time you can, for example, set a goal per week. By setting small goals you give yourself more motivation. This also prevents you from striving for a goal that you can not reach. This works only demotivating. You get more motivation by reaching small goals.
Keep an eye on your weight
It is wise to keep your weight during the ketogenic diet. If you are losing weight then this is essential. Compare your weight with previous periods. You can then see if you have fallen or have arrived. When you arrive, you know that you have to change something to the diet. If you are lost, you can keep the current pace. Tracking your weight allows you to make adjustments if needed.
How many kilos per week?
If you have a weight target then go from half a kilo to a kilo per week. If you want to lose more than that, it becomes unhealthy and not unwise. If you fall too fast then it is unhealthy and you get the weight back sooner. This is called the jojo effect. All the kilos you've lost come back soon. In some cases even more than before.
Note what you eat and keep the calories
Remember that you need to burn more than 7000 calories for one kilo of fat. However, that does not mean that you have to starve yourself. This only works counteractively. The minimum number of calories that someone needs is 1200 calories a day. This is still much less than what an average person eats one day. Create a diet plan and keep following.
