8 weeks in and very slow weight loss

newbies
(Shira Harrison) #1

Hi,

Started Keto (strict under 20g carbs) 8/4/2018 and so far only lost 6 lbs and 2". my blood ketone levels are 1.8-1.9, my macros are 20g carbs, 81G Protein, and 107g fat. I am very strictly tracking every single thing I eat (using an app and measuring with a kitchen scale) I am not insulin resistant (my morning glucose is under 80) and last time I had blood work my thyroid was good as well.

I want to lose about 20lbs. My current BMI is 24.2 body fat %27.8

I do have more energy and I am not hungry generally.

I just started to do intermittent fasting 16-8 a few days ago to see if that will help.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you!

If you are eating nuts or dairy maybe try dropping those for a while. Many users report dairy and/or nuts cause them to stall.

No dairy, sometimes I eat Almonds but only 10g or less

Hi I’m a newbie also, started 7 weeks ago, lost 13 the first 4 weeks, then nothing the 5th week. The 6th was a half a pound, and the 7th was 3 lbs. When I have done nothing differently. So I’m not sure why, I’m just going to keep going, I have the last 7 to go, and I’ve heard they come off slow. So just be patient I’m sure you’ll get there. Good luck!

Bodies and metabolic processes aren’t linear.
