What Do I Do When I Make A Mistake On Keto?

Mistakes will come on any diet… even keto. There are mind-shifts you can practice that when put into place will help grow you through the failures, keeping you on the path to your goals.

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
~Albert Einstein 

Be okay with making mistakes. If it were easy, everyone would be walking around in perfect health. We all make mistakes. Mistakes are how we learn and grow. Change how you think about failure. You will get results even through mistakes.

Shift your mindset

How do we shift our mindset? Expect failure. 

• Choose something difficult to fail at 
• Build your self-confidence by embracing learning 
• Always question “what you know” 
• Get out of the “I deserve” mentality 
• Above all… try something

"It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another, but above all, try something." ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Low Carb USA Reflections

• You don’t have to know everything to get results
• There’s a lot of research happening in the low carb world
• More and more doctors are embracing Low Carb and using it with patients
• If you are a doctor or know a doctor or have a doctor, send them information on the Low Carb USA and other Low Carb Conferences -- many have CEUs
