Welcome to the Natural Ketosis Ketogenic Plan and the beginning of your journey to natural eating.
This plan has been designed to rid your body of excess stored glucose so you start burning your body fat
for energy (Ketosis.)
This guide has been created to help you get the best results from your plan. Please ensure you have
read and understood all the information provided before you get started and get in touch if you have
any questions.
Prepare to succeed
• Read and understand all the information we have sent you and familiarise
yourself with your new food.
• Plan your week ahead. Buy groceries (see veg. fruit and dairy lists) and
ensure you have everything you need to get started on your chosen date.
• On the day you start, weigh and measure yourself (typical areas are chest
waist and hips but this is a personal decision). Do this at the same time
and day on a weekly basis for the remainder of your plan. We recommend
you weigh and measure yourself first thing in the morning before you
have eaten and ideally after you have gone to the bathroom! This will give
you the most accurate results and remember that inches count more than
pounds. PLEASE DO NOT WEIGH YOURELF MORE THAN ONCE EVERY 7
DAYS!
• Take a full-length picture and save it. Take pictures throughout your plan
as progress.

What to Expect
This new way of eating may result in some withdrawal side effects at the very start as your body adapts
and starts fat burning (ketosis). These are normally very short lived (1-2 days) and below are some tips
on how to manage them and make them pass as quickly as possible.
➢ Headache. Ensure you are having around 2L of water per day; spread this out throughout the
whole day drinking regularly. A painkiller can also help if the headache is persistent or
bothersome.
➢ Lethargy. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water (as above) and eat/snack regularly.
➢ Metallic or sweet breath. Drink water regularly and brush your teeth or rinse with mouthwash.
Do not use mouth sprays or chewing gum as both are laden with artificial sweeteners.
➢ Hunger. Ensure that you are eating regularly. Snack when needed until you are satisfied. Once
you are in Ketosis you should not feel hungry.
➢ Sugar cravings. Eat and snack regularly, they will pass. Contact us if you need ideas on how to
manage your cravings.
➢ Nausea. Try to eat and drink as normal or in smaller amounts if easier. Peppermint or ginger tea
may help.
If you get any other symptoms of Ketosis which are not listed above, please contact us so we can
help.
As your body adapts to this new way of eating you may also experience some of the following lovely
changes;
Brighter glowing skin / Increase in energy levels / Thicker, shinier hair / Stronger nails / Improvement
in daily mood / Reduction in water retention & bloating / Reduction in hunger and cravings / Better
sleep quality.

Our Top Tips for Getting the Best Results
Making sure you get the best results from your plan is our priority so we have put together our top tips
to help you succeed but if you are unsure about anything at anytime please get in touch and we will be
happy to help.
Foods to Avoid
It is important to eat the right foods when following the plan. It is not just simply about making sure you
keep your carbs low. You need to ensure that you are getting the right nutritional balance. Luckily, this
plan is designed to do everything for you without you having to worry about anything. If you do not see
a food listed in this guide then it is not recommended. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with
your daily allowances of fruit, vegetables, dairy and foods and drinks which you can enjoy.
Fats
The Natural Ketosis diet is based on low carbohydrate, moderate protein and moderate fat intake. It is
important to remember that this is not a low-fat diet so you can enjoy foods like butter, avocado and
nuts in moderation. Please stick with the allowances of foods and fats which are provided in this guide
to ensure the correct balance.
Eating Out
One of the great things about the Keto diet is the freedom it gives you to continue enjoying your life
without feeling like you are restricted and on a diet. This is the same for eating out. There are lots of
foods which you can enjoy when eating out. Sticking with the basic principles of the diet allows you to
choose some protein of your choice with a side of green vegetables or green salad. Don’t be afraid to
ask for some changes to your meal i.e. swap fries for vegetables.
If you would like more help in choosing the best option please send us the details of the restaurant so
we can have a look at the menu and come back to you with a list of suggestions.
Sweeteners
The Natural Ketosis Plan is completely natural. There are no sweeteners used in our products. We
strongly recommend against the use of sweeteners as these still provide the body with sweetness which
does not allow you to overcome sugar cravings. This can affect hunger and cravings. However, we do
understand that it is not possible for everyone to give up sweeteners completely. If you choose to use
sweeteners we recommend that you use a Sucralose based option such as Truvia or Splenda rather than
an aspartame based option.
Drinks
As previously mentioned, aim to drink around 2L of plain water per day. Plain water is natural and
unprocessed so provides your body with the best hydration. However, you can enjoy 2-3 glasses of
drinks like no added sugar squash or flavoured water each day. Try to choose a sucralose sweetened
option. Brands which we know are flavoured with sucralose are Robinsons No Added Sugar Squash and
Volvic Sugar Free Flavoured Water but Supermarket own brand options also tend to be fine. Just be sure
to double check the ingredients to ensure that it does not contain aspartame. Due to the high
aspartame content all diet drinks should be avoided on the plan!

Tea & Coffee
Caffeine can affect Ketosis so we recommend that you switch hot drinks to a decaffeinated option. You
will find your milk allowance later in the guide. You can also enjoy herbal and fruit teas.
Alcohol
For the best results we recommend that you avoid alcohol where possible while on the plan. Alcohol
reduces the body’s ability to burn fat so this can temporarily affect Ketosis however if you would like to
enjoy an alcoholic drink there are better options to have. A small glass of red wine or prosecco or a gin
or vodka with a slimline tonic would be the better options to choose. Please do try to limit alcohol
consumption for the best results.
Example day
Here is an example of a normal day on the Natural Ketosis Plan.
Breakfast Lunch Evening meal NK snack Drinks
NK Granola NK Meal

Listed below you will find a list of additional snacks which you can add to your plan each day if you feel
you feel hungry. Please only include an extra snack if you really need it.
It is important not to add any additional foods to the meals provided other than the items which we
have recommended to accompany it. Please eat the meal as we have suggested and allow your body
30-60 mins to process this. If you are still feeling hungry after this you can have one of the additional
snacks listed below. Please make sure you count any carbs from the additional snacks towards your
daily allowance to ensure you stay below the 20g of carbs daily limit.
Whilst you may find that you feel hungrier in the first few days as the body adapts, once you are in
Ketosis you should find that you are much less hungry and you do not need any extra food.
