Think about how you’ll navigate challenges

Keto diets aren't always simple to stick to. If you want to stick with it, you'll need to plan for and predict the types of problems you'll face daily. Consider what you'll do in the evenings when you've had a hard day at work and haven't had the energy to cook. Get some healthful snacks on hand to nibble on when hunger comes.

If you're not cautious, social gatherings might also potentially throw a wrench in your diet. If you're going to a party, make sure you bring food that you can eat ahead of time (even if that means bringing your own meal or eating beforehand). Or if you're still hungry after finishing your meal, try drinking some water, cleaning your teeth, doing something fun, or just waiting 20 minutes for your brain to catch up. If you're still hungry, try a salty, water-packed snack like olives or pickles.
