Stay hydrated the healthy way
According to Boyer, the body doesn't retain water well when it's in ketosis, so it's always important to hydrate all day long (try to drink 10-12 glasses of fluids each day). But instead of grabbing sugary and artificial energy drinks, she recommends drinking clean and nutritious beverages like bone broths and stocks.

Try to pick the right proteins
Although protein is key to the keto diet, Boyer says this is not an invitation to live on processed meats like bacon and chorizo. Instead, she recommends choosing air-chilled (and cruelty-free) skin-on/bone-in chicken and turkey, as well as selecting sustainably sourced seafood and grass-fed organic lean beef, lamb and pork.

Choose the right dairy products
You don't need to avoid dairy on the keto diet but the Nutrition Twins recommend choosing dairy that is lower in carbs such as unprocessed goat, cheddar, mozzarella and blue cheese.
