Step 2: Clean up Your Kitchen 🧹
Remove any tempting high-carb foods from your fridge and pantry. Donate or discard anything sugary or starchy – the fewer carbs around, the better! Think chips, candy, chocolate, cookies, crackers, sugary drinks, and juices. Here is a list:
-
Breads & Baked Goods: Bread, toast, reef, muffins, pastries, cakes, pies, donuts.
-
Breakfast Cereals: This includes all sugary cereals, granola, and oatmeal.
-
Fruits: While some berries are allowed in moderation, most fruits like bananas, apples, grapes, peaches, cherries, oranges … etc have to go!
-
Starchy Vegetables: potatoes, corn, peas, and sweet potatoes.
-
Sugary Drinks: fizzy drinks, juice, iced tea, energy drinks.
-
Condiments & Sauces: Ketchup, BBQ sauce, honey mustard, and other high sugar options.
-
Sweeteners: Honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses.
-
Alcohol: Beer, wine, and sugary cocktails
Step 3: Prepare Keto Snacks 🥑
Having keto-friendly snacks readily available will help you stay on track, especially during the first week. Choose at least two options from our list and make sure you have them in your kitchen before starting Day 1:
-
5 pieces of raw pecan
-
5 pieces of raw walnuts
-
10 pieces olives (green or black)
-
10 grams sunflower seeds.

Pickles (cucumber, cauliflower, turnip,...etc) up to 10 pieces.
-
Ketolicious Bread Sticks (2 pieces) - Sesame or Zaatar.
-
Ketolicious Moajanat Section (1 piece)

Step 5: Take Some Measurements 📏
Take these measurements & record them so they act as a reference point.
-
Weigh yourself in the morning (after using the bathroom) and take a picture of the scale's reading.
-
Measure your waist just above your belly button, preferably in the morning.
-
Take full-body photos from the front and side to visually track your progress.
-
Choose a piece of clothing (like pants, a skirt, or a shirt) that no longer fits comfortably. Use it as a benchmark to measure your progress as you follow the program.
