12. Lack of Accountability

Be accountable with yourself, whether it's in life or keto. This is very important. Is there a disconnect between what you're actually doing and what you're telling yourself that you are doing? A lot of people will pass the accountability on to everyone but themselves. For instance, we once got an email from someone who was upset with an employee at GNC for telling her that a GNC lean shake was safe for a low carb diet to which they ended their complaint with "I guess he lied." This is not about him. It's about you. You bought the product. You could have flipped the product over to check the nutritional information. This is your fault. Don't expect anyone to do anything for you. You have to be accountable in all aspects.

If you can't do it alone, find a partner. Use your spouse or a friend. Log your food into MyFitnessPal. Find a Facebook group, make an Instagram account, or start a diet bet with your coworkers. All of these options (and so many more) can help you stay accountable. There are so many things that you can do or change in your life to set you up for success. Leave the excuses at the door, because you have a bright future ahead of you!
