The most important factor in your ability to stick with a low-carb or keto lifestyle is motivation. Motivation is not something you can force; it’s something you learn about yourself.
Most overweight people are motivated to lose weight. Most are also knowledgeable about how to lose weight. The key element preventing them from putting that knowledge into action is their true motivation.
Let’s say you need to change your eating pattern, but you are responsible to prepare food for the whole family, most of whom are not interested in adopting your new health plan. Balancing your “weight loss” against the task of meal planning for the family, which one is more important?
You might need to go deeper into your real goal - the thing that weight loss accomplishes for you. Perhaps you don’t REALLY want to lose weight just for the sake of a number on the scale. Perhaps what you really want from your improved health is more time doing activities you love with the people you love.
