3 Mindset Shifts for Keto Diet Success!

3 Mindset Shifts for Keto ~~Diet~~ Success!

Written by Zimmaron

I don't know how many diets you’ve been through, but like anything in life, if you don't have the right mindset, chances are you won’t succeed.

In fact, if you're like most people, your experience with diets probably goes something like this:

First, you’re excited and follow the directions closely. Usually, by restricting calories and starving yourself of much needed nutrients. You exercise more because you’re told that burning excess calories burns fat.

After a few days, you begin weighing yourself. Whether you've lost actual fat or not doesn’t matter. You’re feeling great and your weight is down. Yippee!

Yup! Ever heard of intermittment fasting. Check out our article about it. Fasting does make you feel good and more energized. But only in the short-term. You didn't know that... so, you continue with greater enthusiasm than before.

Without knowing it, your desire for weight-loss overrides the needs of your body. You keep forcing the diet as you want to do even better. So you compromise your body even more… heck if you haven’t already (congrats BTW), you may even break your diet with something sweet and sugary as the cravings get more strong.

Again you weight yourself. You are still losing weight. Whoohoo! It’s been over a week of starvation and calorie restriction now. You look in the mirror and convince yourself that you are getting truly thinner. The shrinking of the stomach, loss of muscle-mass, and dehydration could be the winners here… it is unlikely it is due to a lot of actual fat loss.

So far so good, right?

You keep this up a few days more, or even a few weeks more, but sooner or later, your motivation starts to dwindle. You may even begin to feel burnt out, hungry, irritable, or have insatiable cravings for foods that are high in sugars or carbs. That is if you lasted this long without breaking your diet too many times for measure any legitimate success.

Next things go from bad to worse.

As time goes on, you loosen your diet as you weren’t feeling that great, and you probably aren’t looking that great either. Your skin tone has lost some color and vibrance, the weight that you lost may have started coming back, and you may even start to look bloated.

If you’re resilient, you may start the whole cycle again and be even more disciplined with your calories and exercise routine, but if you don’t crash, then you’ll break your diet again because your body is in survival mode and your mind can’t overide its will to live.

To add insult to injury, your body may even start to store more fat to survive the next round of starvation. Even with supplementation this cycle is unhealthy, dangerous, and leads to bulimia and other eating disorders.

Isn’t the whole point of going on a diet to be healthier? To look and feel better. The weight will follow… on its own… and all you need to do is make different food choices. That is it... with or without exercise... with or without calorie counting.

Sadly, most diets are gateways, to additional weight gain... talk about frustrating. Not only that, even if you do lose weight, it could be water or muscular weight and it may not even reduce the fat inside your organs and body. This is why seemingly lean athletes can die of a fatty liver or even heart attack... assuming they are drug-free of course.

The reason why people go through this familiar and tragic pattern is because they don't have the right mindset and framing.

It really doesn't matter whether you’re trying to adopt the Keto diet, the Paleo diet, the Atkins diet, Ornish, or any other program… without the right mindset and framing you’re playing to lose.

Mindset #1 - Know that you can do it!

It’s easy to get excited about weight loss testimonials. You look at the before-and-after pictures and get all pumped up. But be realistic in your expectations and know that every person is different.

Don't focus on what works for other people, instead, wrap your mind around what can, and does, work for you. That's right, you personally, individually.

It's like trying to put the ball through the hoop when playing basketball. If in the back of your head you're saying, “Other people can shoot really well, but not me," what do you think will happen? You're shooting accuracy will go down and you will sabotage yourself.

Assume that you can achieve success but don’t compare. If you don’t believe that you can, or have unrealistic expectations, then it's going to be a rough road ahead.

Mindset #2 – Love what you have

Another reason for failure with diets is because people think that they must transform into a completely different person to be a success.

When people think along these lines, they’re basically just giving themselves excuses for either not trying or giving up. If you’ve been let down by diet after diet, it's easy to become jaded.

Remember, that life is not always perfect. Love who you are, who you are becoming, and don’t focus on the weight. Focus on how you feel and how you look. Drink tons of water, know what you are tracking, be okay if it takes longer than you expect, it’s much better for you, permanent, and healthier anyways.

Self-love and self-care is the key to all happiness. Experiment. Don’t be rigid, remember, you are unique. Be kind to yourself, take one day at a time, and enjoy the ride!

Mindset #3 - Enjoy food according to rules you choose

Keto is not a diet. It is a lifestyle. It is the way we were supposed to function and how we were designed to eat. But if you’re too rigid forcing yourself to like a certain foods or flavors… how will that help.

Food is made to be enjoyed. It takes time for taste buds to adjust to new flavors so do your best but don’t beat on yourself either. If your miserable, it's only a matter time until you go back to how you ate before.

Diets based thinking is restriction-based thinking. Lifestyle based thinking is open to many possibilities and is a choice you want to make for you! Not for society, partners, friends, or spouses. It is a gift to you.

Keto and any diet is only as healthy as the ingredients used to make it. Organic, grass-fed/grass-finished, grain-free, non-GMO… are your healthiest choices. I never buy anything less. It is worth the extra money by far and is not a scam.

For those who still have it in them to argue organic vs inorganic… all I can say is that it should be illegal to sell food contaminated with pesticides, antibiotics, and other poisons. It is murder after all… even if it takes decades in some cases to see the symptoms of all these mystery illnesses. It certainly sells drugs.

In Conclusion

The keto diet should be a celebration of taste and foods. Experiment, and have fun with it. If you follow the principles above I assure you that the keto diet will be much easier… heck it’ll become the greatest decision you have ever made.

Most of us have heard of Guardian Angels. However, we probably relate them to the stuff of fairy tales or religion. We maybe we remember being told stories about them as kids. What if you knew that you had your very own guardian angel assigned to you before you were born?

A guardian angel is like a sort of spiritual, divine life coach. It takes an active interest in your life and ensuring you navigate your experience on earth to the best of your ability.

Our guardian angels act as protectors and nurturers. They follow us as we go about our lives and making sure that we are on track and living our highest good. The angels are quietly intervening when necessary, fulfilling what they need to do to assist us.

Angels are not limited to one faith and anyone of any religion or spiritual belief. It can tune into the energy of the angels, should they wish to.

There have been many stories throughout the time of divine intervention, moments where at a crucial moment in their lives. People report the appearance of strangers, who magically seem to provide help. Leading them to safety and then promptly disappearing.

Might these be angels appearing to us briefly in our hour of need?

A key part of understanding angelic guidance is to connect with the angels and spirit guides that surround us purposefully. They are willing to support you; all you have to do is ask. We live in a world of free will, so you do have to make your desire for their support known.

Ways that you can use to open the channels of communication between you and your Angel.

1) Ask clearly

Our guardian angels are able to help us on our life paths in a number of ways, big and small. Anything from getting through a job interview to healing a childhood trauma. From finding your soul mate to surviving a difficult or dangerous situation.

The best way to begin your relationship with your angels is to ensure you are asking clearly for help. You can do this by meditating for a little while first, to clear your mind. Center your energy, then gently in your mind, ask for their help with a specific issue.

3) Request a Sign

4) Write a letter

5) Sleep

When you are asleep you let go of the control over your conscious mind. And are far more likely to receive intuitive messages and ideas from your guides. Ask your angels to come to you as you sleep.

When you wake up in the morning be sure to jot down any dreams, memories, words, anything at all that you recall. Be open to writing in a free flowing way. Regardless of whether or not it makes sense at the time.

6) Create a sacred space in your home

It can be helpful to create a sacred space in your home that is dedicated to your angels. You can collect crystals, stones, angel figures, flowers and candles and keep the space clean and tidy. You can burn candles and leave your messages there as a means of communicating.

Expressing your love and gratitude for their guidance in your life. Have a constant reminder of the presence of angels in your home through your sacred space. You will find it easier to keep in sync with their frequency and may find it easier to hear their messages.

7) Make personal requests

You might be surprised to learn that you can call upon your spirit guides for specific things. If you are in the middle of a creative artistic project, you could request the guidance of an angel who had been an artist themselves during their time on earth. If you are writing a book, call upon the essence and energy of those spirits who had been writers.

Think of the angels and spirit guides as a team of wonderful helpers. are devoted to helping where they can. Many of these guides have had lifetimes on earth and have their own gifts and wisdom to impart.

8) Meditation

Quieting your mind on a regular basis allows ample space for hunches to occur and your inner vision to sharpen. When you meditate often, you are bringing awareness and openness to your mind.

It will make it far more likely for you to receive guidance from the angels. As angelic beings are so pure and light, their energy vibrates at an extremely high level.

For us to be able to receive signs and guidance, we too need to elevate our energy. The best and fastest way is through meditation. But generally living a healthy lifestyle with plenty of rest, relaxation, fun and fresh air will drastically improve your energy also.

There are meditations that you can find online that are specifically tailored to helping you attune to your angel guides.

Learning how to interact with your angel guides is a wonderful thing, and through it you can feel more confident about your decisions in life.

When you know you have such a supportive, unconditional team cheering you on, even the hardest moments of life can seem manageable.
