Perhaps the first thing is for everyone to calm down. I’m sorry, Karen, that your first post got misinterpreted a bit, but a lot of people come to these forums without having read much, and it is a shame, because they panic needlessly. And we sometimes get tired posting the same ideas over and over.
But even after reading your post about having done the research, I can’t shake the feeling, when I read your original post over again, that you were saying that you were going to quit because you haven’t seen any progress during your first week. All the stuff I read and watched before going keto made it clear to me that any improvements were going to be long-term ones, and that expecting any results the first week was highly unrealistic. It is also a clearly-articulated part of our collective experience that women have a harder time shedding pounds than men do. Partly this is because the body often takes the opportunity to build up lean tissue, even while it may at the same time be shedding excess fat. This confuses your scale, so we usually tell women to give their scales away and go by what’s happening with their dress size.
You are going to get a lot of advice on these forums, some of it conflicting. Part of the problem is the science is changing, part of it depends on which experts each one of us is listening to ('cause they don’t always agree), and part is that we don’t always understand correctly—or remember correctly!—the things we read and listen to. But if you want to get into nutritional ketosis, the standard advice is the following: keep carbohydrate intake under 20g/day; keep protein moderate (0.8-1.0 g/kilo of lean body mass/day); and eat fat to satiety. The third point is important because if you fail to give your body enough calories, it will go into famine mode and lower your metabolic rate and close off any less-critical processes it can, in order to keep expenditure in line with intake. This also means that it hangs onto its store of fat. But in the absence of insulin (the point of keeping carbs low) and given enough calories, the body will speed up the metabolism and burn off its excess fat store. And the only way to give your body the calories it needs is by eating fat till your body says “enough!”
The process of fat-adaptation can take several weeks, but satiety signalling should sort itself out sooner than that. But try to give keto at least three months before giving up. This way of eating may very well not be for you, but you won’t know for sure unless you give it a fair try.
