15: Being a Keto Couple, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

We're so thankful for the opportunity to share this keto way of eating as a couple. But, being a keto couple is no bed of roses. Just because we share a keto lifestyle doesn't mean we're always in perfect harmony. In today's episode we talk about what it's like to be a keto couple: the good, the bad and the ugly! 0:00-2:43 Does being a keto couple mean "happily ever after?" There's some good, bad and ugly aspects of being a keto couple. Don't have a fairy tale perspective of being a keto couple.  Having a partner doing keto with you doesn't necessarily provide the magic resolve for your own personal keto journey. ———————— 02:44—4:00How do I convince my partner to try keto? Be consistent in your own keto journey. ———————— 4:01-9:20What's good about being a keto couple? You know you're both trying to eat to better health. You don't have to constantly explain why you're eating what you're eating. Your home can be a safe place. We aren't trying to tempt one another or undermine each other's goals. We both define healthy food the same way now. It's possible you only have to make one meal. ———————— 9:21-18:00What's bad about being a keto couple? You may not get away with only making one meal because you have different tastes. One of you may be prioritizing health and the other is prioritizing weight. It can be a let down when keto doesn't fulfill that romantic cooking together fantasy. Meal prepping isn't like you imagine: playfully flicking droplets of water at each other.  ————— 18:01-25:31What's ugly about being a keto couple?   Do we let one another know when we're struggling? Not discussing struggles can lead to closet eating. What if one of you is losing weight faster than the other? Extended fasting can cause extra stress on the relationship. You have different hunger and satiation points. ————— 25:32 - endHow can a keto couple keep the peace? Stop shopping in your partner's journey. Keep the dialog open and honest. Don't make keto the only thing you do together. Schedule discussions about struggles instead of just allowing for random venting. Don't compare you and your partner to other keto couples. Choose a coach outside of the relationship. No person can "complete" you.
