No matter when you start a new way of eating—New Year’s resolution or half-way to Summer—one of the biggest challenges to sticking with it is avoiding those pesky little temptations that trip you up. If you’re on the ketogenic diet, that means removing those sweet or starchy carbohydrates from sight so that your body can start to burn fat.
Organizing your kitchen is almost effortless if you've just moved into your new home. But if you' been in your kitchen for a while, you'll need to remove a few items before you stock up on the right ones.
Old habits, novel hacks
For a decade or two, kitchen décor included adorable jars of brightly-colored pasta, beans, and lentils; containers of rice, multi-hued dried corn husks, and ancient grains; and, bowls of fresh fruit. When you go keto, none of those things is on the plan, so if you're ready to redecorate, toss them out (or give them away). If you love the look, however, remove them from enticing you by pouring clear resin in the jars.
Stock the new staples
Fill your fridge and freezer with the keto-friendly foods on your list.
And don’t forget your pantry. Stock those shelves with mayonnaise, keto-approved dressings, bottles of vinegar, coconut oil, pork rinds (your chip replacement), nuts, canned fish—such as tuna, salmon, and sardines—and jerky.
If you're looking for a fabulous new kitchen to start your new thinner, healthier life, reach out to your local real estate professional who might know a neighborhood with walkable keto-friendly restaurants to keep you sticking to the straight and narrow.

RUDDEN BOBRUSKA TEAM
What sets your team apart from other real estate teams?
There is no team out in the market that offers what we do. All of us are Realtors, but
we each have specialized roles, which make our team so unique!
After decades of living and selling real estate in the DMV, we have established
ourselves as one of the top real estate teams with our market expertise and
cutting-edge technology. Our savvy high-tech marketing is on every website
and social media source. We have a huge network with other top agents, which
helps to premarket homes and discover homes for buyers before they reach the
open market. Our services include professional in-house staging services, broker
expertise in negotiating and navigating contracts, and buyer representation in all
price ranges. Each client has different needs and we create a marketing plan based
on those needs.
Our most distinct feature is our in-house construction and renovation team. We
are literally a full-service, one-stop shop when selling or buying a home!
How does the in-house construction and renovation team work?
All work is managed and completed through our licensed and bonded construction
crew. No need to call outside contractors. We are like “HGTV,” but we just don’t
have a show! Whether it’s a small makeover or a major renovation, we do it all. Our
sellers love this aspect of our team because we make preparing your home for the
market so seamless. Our buyers love the advice and insight we can give for future
renovations and repairs.
Having a licensed Maryland Home Improvement contractor as part of our team
along with the knowledge, experience, commitment and services that we offer, truly
puts our team as a vanguard in the real estate industry.
