Not Another Omelette!
When searching for keto breakfast recipes, it’s crucial to avoid foods that can disrupt the metabolic state necessary for burning fat and building lean muscle. Successfully replacing high-carb ingredients throughout the day is a great start, but how do you nail your keto breakfast without resorting to eggs?
Common Keto Mistakes
- Indulging in high-fat, low-carb foods but overloading on unhealthy fats.
- Not drinking enough water. This is crucial, especially if consuming a lot of meat, to help flush out uric acid and prevent constipation.
- Failing to get essential nutrients. Removing many fruits and starchy vegetables can lead to nutrient gaps—choose healthy foods and consider high-quality supplements.
