it's ketomas which is the ketogenic version of vlogmas so if you're into
keto recipes for Christmas and tips and tricks on how to get through these
holidays then keep watching and make sure you subscribe so that you don't
miss any of my videos coming up because I am pushing these out like pretty much
every day up until Christmas so keep watching so if you're like me you
probably just realized that Christmas is less than three weeks away and you're
thinking oh my god I didn't have all my shopping done yet but that's okay we
still got time so don't worry about that but what you might be thinking is is
that it's less than three weeks away you're gonna be seen all these friends
and family that you haven't seen a couple months and you don't want to look
like a plump elope so what are you gonna do well I got your covered I have some
tips and tricks that will help you slim down over the next three weeks and get
you looking the best that you can so my first tip is to avoid dairy which I know
it's hard to do because dairy is so good but it's also an allergen for some
people and a lot of people actually have sensitivities to it whether you know it
or not and so cutting it out you might see a decrease in inflammation and bloat
and just excess water weight that you're holding around and on top of that dairy
it's like it's so easy to overindulge because it tastes so good so it's really
easy to put way too much cream on your coffee and it's easy to to eat slice
after slice after slice of cheese and the next thing you know you've ballooned
up because you have the sensitivity to it like I think I do so because I always
noticed a difference when I cut it out and on top of that it can be not only
caloric dense but there's hidden carbohydrates in them too I mean even if
you're consuming half-and-half or some heavy creams have it in it or drinking
too much heavy cream can have it in there and some cheese's still have carbs
in them depend on what kind of cheese you get so they can they can add up if
you're consuming them so I just think during these next 2-3
weeks just kind of mount and you'll probably see a difference tip number two
is to avoid nuts right along the lines of dairy they can be inflammatory as
well too so causing the excess bloat and water retention that we just are really
trying to get rid of this season you'll also notice when it comes to nuts
that it's super easy to overindulge like you're just sitting there grabbing a
handful grabbing a handful next thing you know you've eaten six handfuls and
nuts and I mean god I don't even want to think about how many calories are in
that there's still carbohydrates and nuts too so yeah it's just it's best if
you cut them out this season tip number three is to avoid excess fat which funny
right because so the keto diet it's you live off of fat but the whole point is
that you want to break down your own body fat and use that for fuel rather
than over indulging in fat from the food that you eat
so like bulletproof coffee I'm doing really good so far right bulletproof
coffee I mean you have a lot of fat in here and it might be okay if you want to
do this as like a meal replacement just one drink a day but don't don't have
this and then have like bacon and eggs like right on top of it for breakfast
just because that's like fatty overload and sure you know your body can burn
that off but you know depending on how active you are to it actually might
store some of it and your whole goal is to burn off your own body fat not rely
on the fat and your food for fuel so that's my tip there so it's just stop
putting butter on everything stop putting it on top of your eggs or on top
of your hamburger it's not needed you really just want to focus if you're
trying to lose weight you want to break down your own body fat not not use the
fat in your food for fuel tip number four is to avoid alcohol which I know
it's so hard to do this time of year because there's lots of parties lots of
cocktails but when it comes to metabolizing alcohol your body sees it
as a toxin and so it's just gonna go straight to the liver and your liver is
going to start breaking it down your body needs to
break that down right away so if you're shoveling other amounts of food or fat
along with that if you're eating along with your alcohol all of that just gets
stored your body's not going to be breaking down its own body fat for fuel
breaking down the food for fuel it's gonna be storing it's in storage mode
and its main goal is to break down the alcohol because it wants to get rid of
it as fast as it can so yeah if you're trying to lose weight this season just
avoid it and you can enjoy your your wine or your
cocktail on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and New Year's of course too tip
number five is to fast so whether you want to intermittent fast or fast for a
day or two days whatever you feel comfortable with you will see results
with fasting and so if you're new to fasting one of the easiest ways to do it
is just have a window of where you're eating for 12 hours and not eating for
12 hours and and then slowly increase that window of where you're not eating
into like it's 12 hours 14 hours 16 18 20 24 and so the idea is the longer you
go without food the more your body's gonna be breaking down it's stored body
fat for fuel instead and then also that that's also along with meals and how how
frequently you should be eating so I think it's best if people just stick
with like two to three meals a day try and limit the snacking in two because
again if you're constantly shoving food in your mouth it's gonna be focused on
on breaking down that instead of burning off the stored fat that you have in your
body my next tip is pretty hard to do as well this time of year but if you are
serious about your goals and you want to slim down before Christmas then I
suggest you give this one a shot and that's to avoid keto treats keto treats
can trigger other cravings even though they're not made of real sugar it's they
still trigger that sugar craving response at least I kind of feel like
they do like once I start with the keto treats it's really hard to stop
so I would just avoid them all together plus a lot of them are made out of nut
flours and dairy products so I just think it's great if you just just cut
them out this holiday season it's hard to do especially because I'm gonna be
coming out with some keto cookies do your best though try to avoid them if
you can and my last tip is to get better sleep which I actually think is easy to
do this time of year because we have less daylight and if you're like me you
just kind of go into hibernation mode and want to go to sleep at 7 o'clock and
want to sleep into like 8 o'clock in the morning so I think if sleep is so
crucial it helps decrease your cortisol levels it helps decrease your stress it
gives your body time to heal so a lot of people have actually seen great results
when they've just increased their sleep by just an hour and also going along
with the lines of high cortisone which can halter weight loss you want to just
relax you know seek out meditation do acupuncture yoga just whatever you have
to do to just kind of get yourself centered and back into yourself and
whatever you got to do to just calm the stress it's gonna help so I hope you
