<p>For some of us, it can be especially difficult to stay on track during the holiday season. With parties, traditional foods, and even just how busy this time of year is, it can be hard to say no to all the sugar and other carbs that come our way.</p>



<p>Fortunately, none of us have to face these challenges by ourselves! We’ve gathered nine tips and tricks from keto friends to share with you to make it just a little easier to cruise into January without derailing your progress!</p>

<p>“My best strategy has been getting my daughter into keto baking! … I find cool recipes&#8230;buy her the ingredients, and let her create. So when we do family meals, there is always something exciting for me!” Sonya H.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Track every meal </h2>

<p>“Track, track, track! I pre-plan every meal (usually a week ahead), look up the menu if I will be dining out, and stick with what I plan. I don’t have to think about what I’ll be eating or if there is ‘room’ in my day for what is in front of me. [It] makes saying ‘no’ to non-keto items easier because I already have a game plan.” Jenny Lynn N.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Cook from home</h2>
