All Diets Don't Have to End

I want everyone reading this to get comfortable with the thought of dieting: dieting for your own personal goals and dieting under conditions that will lead to your personal success long-term.

Sometimes Ketosis diet users act like carbs and sugars are the enemy.

A lot of the time, people restrict themselves too much when they begin a diet. Then, when they mess up dieters are less likely to start the diet again because they fear failure. It is important for you to tweak all diets to fit into your lifestyle. That way, you won't think of the diet as temporary but instead as a lifestyle change.

With keto, you're "supposed" to limit the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat. For someone who enjoys eating salads and conventionally healthy options, this might be something you tweak on the diet. In cases like this, you would just increase the amount of protein and fats in your diet, limit access sugars aside from the fruits and vegetables you eat, and raise the amount of carbs you're allowed to eat. For a typical keto diet, you would try to remain under 25g of carbs a day, but in this case you might raise your carb intake to 50g a day but still avoid carb-loaded foods such as rice, pasta, and bread.

If you don't tweak the diets you're on, chances are you will give up because it's unrealistic to give up the foods you enjoy eating permanently. Keto can be especially hard at the beginning because your body is starting a new process.

While you're in ketosis, instead of your body burning carbs for energy, your body burns fats because that is all you're eating. This is what leads to such a fast weight loss. With that weight loss comes a lot of responsibility making sure you're providing your body with sufficient nutrients to be in healthy ketosis.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
