Bored on keto and can’t shake it off? It’s not just you, I promise.
Spending days tracking macros, making lists, and eating the same keto thing every single day when you get up can be exhausting and boring.
The truth is people get bored on ANY diet, not just keto.
It’s easy to find yourself in a food rut and to want to revert to old ways of eating. I understand this more than anyone, so here is a list of five things that have helped me from getting bored on keto.
Mix up your menu. I know this sounds simple, and your first reaction might be, “I do this all the time,” but are you mixing it up?
For example, eating eggs and veggies every day for breakfast doesn’t mean eating different eggs and veggies. Instead, try a keto smoothie to start your day or a keto chia pudding.
Likewise, try a keto wrap or something brand new if every lunch is a salad and protein. But, again, recipes are abundant, likely more than you could ever get through in a lifetime online.
Step outside of your food box.
Listen, I get it. I grew up on simple food and recipes, I’m not a fan of spice, and I think black pepper is spicy. However, this doesn’t mean you need to limit yourself to only eating keto-version of what you know.
I have even found brand new keto recipes to be excited about!
Every type of cuisine in the world has keto versions that are not spicy, and I have surprised myself by being what I consider “adventurous.” This can be as simple as using nuts as flavor enhancers or fresh herbs to garnish.
Create an ambience that makes mealtime exciting.
Set the table, buy some new dishes, use a glass carafe for water (throw a sliced lemon and a few raspberries in it for fun!). Many of us become so accustomed to rushing through meals or eating on the go that, of course, it becomes boring.
Make your table inviting with flowers, treat yourself like you would a guest and enjoy!
Create a Pinterest board for keto recipes.
A Pinterest board is the perfect way to keep track of new keto ideas and flavors you like. I mean, my Ucanketo Pinterest is pretty good if I do say so myself. There is no possibility of getting bored with the keto meals I have posted. So please take a look and let me know what you think!
Back to the flavored water. This has been a fun point for me recently. Drinking endless glasses of water is boring and drinking endless bottles of water is boring. Using a pretty glass carafe and adding fresh herbs or fruit slices is a game changer!
Try something new if you’re a lemon and berry expert.
Cucumber, mint and lime is a beautiful mixture that tastes delicious and refreshing. Limes and blueberries are great.
Or, try the free samples of electrolytes from LMNT (click here) to add some flavor to your water too!
There are many ways to avoid boredom, many of which include a self-care element that adds a little pizazz to each tip. I use many more tips to alleviate keto boredom and take care of myself.
If you have found this helpful, leave a comment, and I’ll return with some more.
There is no way any of us should be bored on keto!

Really good read. Thanks for your blogs. Unfortunately, I went off keto over a year ago. I broke my tibia in half and had surgery. I’m not quite back to normal yet. Hopefully, I will start back up sometime soon. Thanks again for all that you do. 😁
I think almost any recipe can be modified to be keto, with a little imagination. But I run short on time and ambition. Prepping is everything
Thank you this helps a lot
Thank you so much. Your blogs are always informative. I love this WOE but i eat out of boredom, stress,. I eat keto foods but can’t stay full. I’m always looking to eat. I track, but stop tracking when I reach or exceed my macros. Any suggestions to stop binge eating would be greatly appreciated. I drink plenty of water and coffee. I also take modere products
Thank you for all you do .
