Start Slow And Stay Kind To Yourself
Changing how you eat is a journey, not a one-day switch. If cutting ugali and rice completely feels too hard at first, reduce the portion slowly while adding more greens and protein. Some people feel tired or headachy in the first week as the body adjusts, so drink enough water and do not skip salt in your food. There is no shame if you slip and eat a chapati at a family gathering, just get back to your plan at the next meal. Progress, not perfection, is what keeps people going. Celebrate small wins, like more energy or clothes fitting better. Keep in mind that everyone is different, and if you have a health condition, are pregnant, or take medication, talk to a doctor before making big diet changes. Keto can be affordable and doable in Kenya, and being patient with yourself is part of the recipe.
Takeaway. Go slow, be kind to yourself, and check with a doctor if you have any health condition.
