Here are a few scenarios and how to avoid cheating on keto diet.

• You’re too tired or busy to cook a keto meal – the solution is quite disingenuous. You always have to have a backup meal while following an Indian Keto Diet Plan. You can fall back on something easy to prepare with accessible ingredients. It could be something as simple as some frozen pasta sauce that you can have with some keto noodles or pasta or a salad that you can throw together in a pinch. If you’re an egg eater, some boiled eggs in the fridge are an easy meal or, if you’re up to it – a quick omelet. The possibilities are limitless.

• You’re on Keto, but the rest of your household isn’t, and they’re making your favorite biryani today – there are many ways to deal with this. But here’s how I do it, I typically have an early dinner/lunch, so I’m not hungry and hence less tempted to cheat. More often than not, I just a spoonful of whatever it is (complex carbs only – no sweet stuff) and get satisfied with that. But if you’re Someone who cannot stop at one spoon, remove yourself from that situation altogether – go for a walk and enjoy some of your time. 

• You miss your favorite foods/desserts – this is an easy fix, provided you’re ready to work. Almost any dish you can think of has a keto version out there. With easy-to-use Keto flours, you can emulate any flour application with these. You can make anything from biryani to a burger Keto. And if you feel a tad bit lazy, you can order some decent deserts that are keto-friendly.

• You have to eat out. Eating out is often the most tricky situation to deal with. We can broadly divide this situation into planned and unplanned. If you know you’re going to be eating out, see if you can find out the menu in advance. Usually, you will find at least one or more items on the menu that are keto-friendly or at least reasonably low carb. If you are a meat or egg eater, things are more straightforward, but even if you’re a vegetarian like me, you can look for Paneer dishes, vegetables, soups, and salads. If there’s nothing that’s keto-friendly, you can have a keto meal before you go out and either not eat at all or eat just the bare minimum of the most miniature carby food, to be polite. If it’s unplanned, again, the advice is the same – look for the best options from what’s available. If nothing seems to work, a great option is to fast and skip the meal. If that’s not an option for you, eat the least carby food option and as little of it as possible.
