Track what you are eating. I was shocked when I began a low-carb diet and discovered just how little I actually ate intentionally in my days. This allowed me to quickly learn where I was not hitting the mark and allowing me to adjust my diet so I was getting the right macronutrient balance.
Get enough fat. When you go on a low-carb diet you are training your body to use fat for fuel rather than carbs. This can be a bit of a transition particularly for anyone that grew up on low-fat foods. Make a point to get in your fat calories even if it means adding butter to your coffee and eating a spoon full of coconut oil. This is where your body will begin to get the best results.
