How to succeed when doing any diet?
This article is about the guidelines that you should follow to succeed when you are doing any diet, whether it was a carnivore diet or ketogenic or a low carb diet, and what you will need from supplements of vitamins and minerals to fill any nutritional gaps and what are the mistakes that you should avoid to reach your goals.
The ketogenic diet:
For more information you need to know about the ketogenic diet, we recommend to review the article about the ketogenic: Full guide to ketogenic diet.
You should pay attention to some points when you are on a ketogenic diet:
First, you must be eating vegetables as much as possible because they are the only source of minerals like potassium and magnesium which are of the important minerals for the body and to know the role and importance of potassium and magnesium in the body, you can review the previous article: the health basics that no one tells you about.
Vegetables are the sources that give you magnesium and potassium so that you can benefit from fat as an energy source instead of glucose, which is the base of the ketogenic diet.
When you are on a ketogenic diet there will be no enough glucose levels in your body, therefore you will lose the minerals with water because the glucose holds more water in your body which is not the case in the keto diet.
So, make sure to take your daily recommended dose of the essential minerals by taking 1 teaspoon of Himalayan salt or Celtic sea salt to help you get rid of keto flu that occurs in the case of lack of minerals.
Finally, you should pay attention to your bile to let your body digest fat, by taking a type of supplement called bile salts because your bile is synthesized by the liver and it is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder.

The plant-based diet (vegetarian and vegan):
First, you should be aware of a problem that is the deficiency of vitamin B12, which is found only in animal sources.
Vitamin B12 is important and essential for hemoglobin synthesis in the body, and the deficiency in vitamin B12 leads to anemia and problems in your nervous system.
For sure, a vitamin B12 supplement is a must for vegetarians and vegans but you must know that vitamin B12 in supplemental form is more synthetic than natural and has a lower bioavailability than the B12 vitamin in natural sources.

Then, your stomach acid will get weaker progressively with time because of not eating meat, so you must always be fixing your gastric acid by drinking a glass of water with 1 tablespoon of cider apple vinegar.
And if your stomach acid is weak there will be no absorption of iron and other minerals.
Another component to be worried about is omega 3 that you can take it from plant sources like flaxseed oil but you might face a problem which is that omega 3 from plant source needs to be converted in the body from ALA into EPA and DHA which are naturally found in animal sources.
And only 30% of people can do this conversion in their bodies and only a small quantity of ALA will be converted.
The best source of omega 3 is cod liver oil which is an important component of the heart, blood vessels, and the nervous system and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

You should take some other components like chromium, taurine, and L-Carnitine from supplements that are naturally found in animal sources.
It is also recommended to take a vitamin D supplement when being on a plant-based diet because you will always have a lower amount of cholesterol that is essential for the elaboration of vitamin D.
Cholesterol and vitamin D are only found in fat from animal sources
The best source of vitamin D is the daily exposure to the sun between 15 and 20 minutes when the sun is fully bright in the sky.
Otherwise, if you are on a plant-based diet you will be more prone to depression and many health issues that can reach heart failure and sudden death that are associated directly with deficiency of vitamin and to understand the role and importance of vitamin D, review the previous article: Vitamin D and sudden death.

In addition to vitamin D deficiency, the lower cholesterol level will affect your hormones because cholesterol is used to synthesize hormones.
The low carb diet:
