How does Indian Keto Diet Plan Work?

About me -

My name is Priya Dogra. I'm an ISSA certified In Keto coach and dietician dian who specializes in functional and integrative nutrition. She runs a virtual nutrition practice where I use my Keto recipes and diet plans as medicine to help my clients get in shape by losing weight. As a Ketogenic nutritionist who practices Keto diet herself, I imparts knowledge and skill to safely and effectively help her clients adopt a Ketogenic lifestyle.

With my vegetarian and non-vegetarian Keto recipes and diet plans, I give my clients the support and accountability they need to achieve desired weight loss goals.

When I decided to write on an Indian Keto diet plan, I never expected it is to be easy. After visiting many sites on Keto and after joining groups on Facebook, I was bowled over by what my Keto counterparts were eating in other parts of the world.

They were having a party!

The greatest advantage that they have, is that they can pick up any food scan its barcode, feed the data in any fitness app, and design their diet plan. But in India, it’s not that easy. I live in a very small town in India, where it is an uphill task to procure food that is low in carb and sugar-free. For example, before going on Keto, I had never heard of almond flour or chia seeds. No almond flour is available within 170 km of where I still live. And the cost of chia seeds is equivalent to a pair of silver hoops.

But I am not going to give up. I am going to make the best of the food I get easily and achieve my target weight no matter what. While designing my Indian Keto diet plan I have kept some essential points in mind:

Simple food ideas, that are easy to cook and store

Meals that can be carried to work

Carbs and calorie break up for each meal

How does Indian Keto Diet Plan Work?

When you design an Indian Keto diet plan for yourself, keep in mind the cooking time and shelf life of the food. My Indian Keto diet plan includes dairy in the form of cheese and paneer and the use of stevia as the natural sweetener. I gave up dairy completely because milk is rich in lactose and can cause stalling.

Coming back to planning an effective Keto diet plan for weight loss, it doesn’t necessarily have to be overly complicated. Because the whole purpose of a diet plan is to simplify the meal prep process and save you time.
