Is it OK to skip the placebo pills and start on the next pack of birth control?

Thanks for your question. Since there are many types of birth control pills, you should check with your health care provider (HCP) first, to make sure it is safe for you to skip the “inactive” or placebo pills, as some types may contain iron. In general, it is safe for women who take combined (estrogen and progesterone) oral contraception pills (birth control pills) to skip the placebo pills and start a new pack of pills right away; however, some women may have spotting during this time.
If you prefer not to have monthly periods, you might want to talk to your health care provider about taking continuous birth control pills or perhaps using long acting reversible contraception (LARC) or an IUD such as the Mirena. Either way, it’s always best to talk to your HCP before making any medication changes. Also, it’s important to remember that birth control pills do not protect against STIs such as chlamydia or HIV—only condoms or not having sex do that.​

Keto Diet For Beginners

            2-Week Ketogenic Diet Plan for Beginners

Are you looking forward to reaping the benefits of ketosis, but you aren’t sure how to get there?

The ketogenic diet is the go-to diet for people who are looking to lose weight, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, help treat diabetes and even protect against neurological diseases (1, 2, 3, 4). But, if you are a beginner, the thought of completely turning your kitchen upside down and training your body to eat in a different way may seem overwhelming.

One of the most effective ways to ease into the ketogenic diet is by following a diet plan, which will provide you with a shopping list and basic recipes that give you clear guidelines on what you can and cannot eat on the ketogenic diet.

Do you want something you can easily refer to as you begin your journey? 

Review of the Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet

It’s time to get into the right mindset for making a big shift in your diet. If you’ve landed on this page, you are most likely aware of at least one benefit the ketogenic diet provides you – the one you are interested in taking advantage of.

Just in case you need some extra motivation, here is a list of potential benefits of the ketogenic diet:

1. Promotes weight loss: The low-fat diet is often recommended for weight loss, but research shows that a high fat, moderate protein, and low-carbohydrate diet is much more effective at promoting weight loss, thanks to the beauty of ketone bodies (5).
2. May lower risk factors for disease such as high blood sugar and insulin levels.(6).
3. Protects from muscle loss: a very low carbohydrate diet with adequate amounts of protein may be protective against the loss of muscle mass (7).
4. Helps reduce blood sugar for those with type 2 diabetes: Studies have shown that a ketogenic diet can be an effective way to reduce blood sugar in those with type 2 diabetes. It also can help promote weight loss and increased insulin sensitivity which is beneficial in the management of diabetes (3,8).
5. May help slow tumor growth for certain types of cancer: Early research shows that a calorically-restricted ketogenic diet shows promise as an effective alternative therapy for malignant brain cancer. Because high levels of circulating glucose in the blood are needed for tumor growth, the glucose-reducing effects of the keto diet can help to slow tumor growth (9).
6. Improves symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease: The ketogenic diet 
7. may help to reduce the symptoms and slow the progression of degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease (10, 11).
8. Helps treat factors causing polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS): PCOS is the most common cause of infertility among women (12). One of the aggravating factors of PCOS is high levels of insulin. The ketogenic diet can help reduce insulin and glucose levels in the blood as a dietary therapy for PCOS (13).
9. Boosts recovery from brain diseases: Initial animal studies show that the keto diet may boost recovery from traumatic brain injuries in younger subjects (14).


The reasons mentioned above are just the beginning! Scientists have only begun to delve into their interest in the ketogenic diet for a range of potential positive impacts on human health.


What You Can and Can't Eat on a Ketogenic Diet

The biggest questions that come to mind for anyone who is beginning the ketogenic diet are:
What can I eat? What can’t I eat?
The stress that arises when you think of having to eliminate your precious powdered doughnuts or grape soda can be overwhelming at first. How will you ever feel satisfied?
While there will be a short adjustment period, research has found that reducing carbohydrate (especially sugar) intake and instead eating a fat-rich diet instead can actually increase satiety and therefore reduce food intake (15).
Here is a list of foods you can refer to anytime to check out what you can and can’t eat on the ketogenic diet to achieve nutritional ketosis.

What you can eat

Meats

If you don’t have any other dietary restrictions (like vegetarianism), then you have a wide variety of meats to choose from.

Beef	Chicken	Turkey	Duck	Veal
Wild Game	Rabbit	Pork	Lamb	Goat
Giblets	Liver and other organs	Fresh Ham	Bacon	Eggs

Seafood and Fish

Tuna	Salmon	Mackerel	Cod	Halibut
Mahimahi	Flounder	Catfish	Oysters	Shrimp
Lobster	Mussels	Clams	Crab	Squid

Fats and Oils

Saturated and monounsaturated fats are important to ensure a steady energy supply.

Butter	Ghee	Olive oil	Coconut oil	Avocado oil
Dairy fat	Lard	Duck fat	Avocado	MCT oil

Vegetables

On the keto diet, stick to non-starchy vegetables grown above ground. Vegetables that grow above ground are generally lower in carbs than below-ground vegetables.

Lettuce	Kale	Spinach	Olives	Tomato
Eggplant	Swiss chard	Bok choy	Celery	Asparagus
Cauliflower	Broccoli	Cabbage	Cucumber	Endives
Chives	Red and green peppers	Mushrooms	Zucchini	Brussels sprouts
Green beans

Hard Cheeses
Parmesan	Swiss	Cheddar	Colby	Colby-Jack
Gouda	Gruyère	Pecorino Romano	Manchego	Monterey Jack
Edam	Emmental	Provolone	Hard Mozzarella
Soft Cheeses
Brie	Fresh mozzarella	Feta	Goat cheese	Cream cheese

Buchette	Cottage Cheese
Others

Fruits

All of the fruits you eat on the keto diet should be lower in sugar and have a high fiber content to make overall net carbs low (<10 grams per serving).

Strawberries	Blueberries	Blackberries	Raspberries	Cranberries
Mulberries	Cherries	Coconut	Lime	Lemon
Rhubarb

Nuts and seeds

Most nuts and seeds are high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates. Choose raw or roasted varieties, but make sure you aren’t eating varieties that contain sugar or processed seasoning.

Macadamia nuts	Pecans	Almonds	Pine nuts	Walnuts
Peanuts	Hazelnuts	Brazil nuts	No-sugar-added nut butter	Chia seeds
Flax seeds	Hemp seeds

Drinks

Keto-approved drinks are low in sugar and are extremely important to provide hydration, electrolytes, and other beneficial components like antioxidants.

Water	Lemon and lime juice with still or sparkling water	Teas, without sugar	Bone Broth	Coffee
Red wine (dry, in moderation)	Coconut water (natural, no sugar added)

Flours and others

When we talk about flours on keto, they are made from nuts and fiber instead of grains.

Almond flour	Coconut flour	Psyllium Husk	Coconut powder	Oat fiber
Spices like curcumin, garlic, ginger, basil, cilantro, and others

Supplements

Supplements can be a good way of making sure you have a good nutritional balance, especially if you have other dietary restrictions such as avoidance of dairy or meat.

Protein powders (from whey or hemp)

Electrolyte supplements

MCT oil

Exogenous ketones

If you can, make sure to consult with a registered dietitian before making any drastic change to your diet or before taking supplements.

What you can't eat

After seeing what you can eat on the ketogenic diet (which is A LOT!), the list of foods you can’t eat will seem much less daunting.

Remember, the point of the ketogenic diet is to enter ketosis by limiting your carbohydrate intake to about 5% of your total calorie needs and consuming about 75% of your calories in the form of fats. Vegetables and fruits naturally contain carbohydrates, and the ones included in the list above are lower in carbohydrates without skimping on nutrients.

In short, we want to avoid any foods that are high in carbohydrates, foods that undergo processes where the fat is removed, and foods that are highly processed or contain lots of additives.

Below is a comprehensive list of foods to avoid:

High-carb foods and grains

 This is the biggest food group to avoid. All of these foods are mostly carbohydrates, either in the form of grains or added sugar. If you eat these foods, your body will use them to make energy for its cells rather than using fats. This will prevent you from going into ketosis and reaping the benefits of the ketogenic diet.

Wheat	Bread of all forms	All grains	Bran	Breakfast cereals of any kind
Buckwheat	Cakes	Biscuits	Buns	Corn products
Couscous	Quinoa	Crackers	Millet	Pasta and rice
Rye cakes	Sorghum	Thickening agents (starch, instant powders)

Dairy and dairy-like products

The dairy and dairy-like products on this list are here because they have had all of the fatty goodness removed through processing, or because they have added sugar or other additives.

Fat-free or partially-skimmed dairy	Ice cream	Cheese spreads	Creamers
Rice milk	Soy milk	Pudding	Condensed milk

Starchy or higher-carb vegetables and legumes

Most starchy or higher-carb vegetables are either those that grow underground or those that fall into the legume category. While legumes have significant protein, they are also high in carbohydrates.

Beetroot	Beans and other legumes	Parsnips	Peas	Potatoes
Sweet potatoes and yams	Yucca	Carrots	Onions

Fats

The fats and oils to avoid are those that undergo significant processing and have the risk of containing trans fats, or that are derived from other foods on the do-not-eat list.

Seed oils (sesame, soy)

Margarine

Vegetable oil

Corn oil

Shortening

Sweeteners

This part probably doesn’t need much of an explanation since sweeteners are pure carbohydrates in the form of sugar. Artificial sweeteners can cause digestive issues in some people and may have some other unwanted side effects.

Agave	Artificial sweeteners	Cordials	Dried fruit	Fructose
Honey	Milk	Sugar (brown, white, powdered)	Candies and sweets	Syrups

Drinks

We usually don’t think of drinks being the main problem when it comes to our sugar consumption. However, even seemingly “healthy” choices can contain just as much sugar as regular sodas. The drinks on the list below are packed with carbs and should be avoided.

All fruit juices	Sports drinks	Protein shakes	Vegetable juices	Aloe vera juice
Beer	Cider	Regular soda	Diet drinks (artificial sweeteners)

Meats

Did you know that many processed types of meat contain sugar as an additive? We need to make sure to avoid meats that have been seasoned, prepared, or combined with other foods on the do-not-eat list.

Meats cured with sugar

Vienna sausages

Meats with soy fillers or texturizers

Breaded meats

Over-processed meats (e.g. deli meats)

General

This is a big category, but we need to make sure to avoid anything that has undergone multi-step processing or that contains significant additives.

Manny canned foods	Most bottled sauces	Ketchup	Most fast food	Most packaged snacks
Any food with added sugar	Many salad dressings

Conclusion

The ketogenic diet can come with many benefits. However, our society is usually not so keto-friendly. For this reason, it can be hard to make the shift into the keto lifestyle. Luckily, general guidelines and tools such as the basic meal plans Kiss My Keto provides can make the transition much easier.
