Jenna Jameson could practically write a book on the keto diet : She's constantly sharing her best tips and tricks on Instagram. But she hasnt talked much about how it all began-until now.
In a new Instagram post, Jenna gave a play-by-play of exactly what she did to kickstart her keto diet. First, I began by reorganizing my refrigerator and pantry, she wrote. I threw away everything that was processed and packaged.
Then, Jenna said she started reading the ingredients list on all of her favorite foods. Youd be sooo surprised how companies hide corn syrup, potato starch, and a host of other fillers and sugar in their foods, she said. (All of those additives are sneaky carbs.)
View this post on Instagram Heres how I started #keto I began by reorganizing my refrigerator and pantry. I threw away everything that was processed and packaged. I starting reading EVERY ingredient in my foods, youd be sooo surprised how companies hide corn syrup, potato starch and a host of other fillers and sugar in their foods. This is the stuff that sticks to our saddlebags and muffin tops! I then made a trip to Trader Joes and Whole Foods and focused on buying lots of beautiful produce, grass fed meats, and wild fish. I bought lots of block cheeses (most packaged shredded cheeses contain potato starch FYI) the shorter the ingredient list the better when it comes to food! I drink mostly water but I adore Fresca soda, it helps dampen my sweet tooth. I always keep my fridge stocked with lots of yummy options so I resist the urge to get take out! One of my tricks to staying lean is I always cook my own food and rarely eat out. I avoid any big companies that label their foods KETO, they are usually scamming you. Stick to whole foods from Mother Earth lastly, talk to your family, get them on board. Its very important you have support from your loved ones... it aids in success! My husband is my biggest cheerleader I hope everyone discusses their way of ketoing down below in my comments! We are a helpful community and we all love hearing and seeing everyones success stories, but also our trip ups! Love yall #ketodiet #transformationtuesday #biohacking #intermittentfasting #healthyfood #healthjourney A post shared by Jenna Jameson (@jennacantlose) on Mar 19, 2019 at 12:30pm PDT
After that, she made a beeline to her fave grocery stores: Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. There, she focused on buying "lots of beautiful produce, grass-fed meats, and wild fish." Another pro-tip from Jenna? Buying actual blocks of cheese. "Most shredded cheeses contain potato starch FYI." Basically, "the shorter the ingredient list the better when it comes to food," Jenna said.
Jenna offered up some of her more famous keto tips, too: "I drink mostly water but I adore Fresca soda, it helps dampen my sweet tooth," she said. She also talked about the importance of keeping your fridge stocked with healthy, tasty options to resist takeout urges. "One of my tricks to staying lean is I always cook my own food and rarely eat out," Jenna said.
Oh, and if you thought Jenna was all about those gimmicky keto-specific foods you see everywhere...think again. "I avoid any big companies that label their foods KETO, they are usually scamming you," she said. "Stick to whole foods from Mother Earth."
View this post on Instagram Yes its that time! #mondaymotivation so the funny before pic is me 1 month postpartum. This is the truth and reality of what us women go through after having a baby. Exhausted, in love... and wondering who the hell the person staring back at them in the mirror is. I remember taking that pic just so I could remember my beautiful amazing body that just birthed a queen. But I also remember thinking NO ONE WILL EVER SEE THIS PIC I was wrong. I want other mommys to know we are all alike. We all struggle. But we can take control back. Back from society who makes us think we need to SnapBack. Yes I lost my weight, yes I am proud. But I am much more proud of the mother that I am. #beforeandafter #beforeandafterweightloss #keto #ketodiet #snapback #fitmom #mentalhealth #postpartumbody A post shared by Jenna Jameson (@jennacantlose) on Oct 8, 2018 at 2:36pm PDT
Lastly, Jenna said the most crucial part of sticking to her keto diet has been including her family in it. "It's very important you have support from your loved ones...it aids in success," she wrote. "My husband [ Lior Bitton ] is my biggest cheerleader."
Once again, some pretty sound (and motivating!) keto advice from the queen herself.
