Hi all,
I started keto on 1/7/19 and bythe 1/18 I was down 7.4 lbs. I started at 131.2 lbs and went down to 123.8. And on 2/1/19 I weighed 123.2 lbs. My goal weight is 115 and I am a 40 year old female, 5’3.5" tall.
Since last week I gained 2 lbs. I read that while on keto, people might gain weight and the weight loss diagram is not a straight line going down, but I can’t help thinking I did something wrong. I have started eating Keto brownies and poundcakes bought from Amazon and Etsy, also made the cheddar and heavy cream carbquick mix and ate three with my dinner. I made sure that I do not go over my carb limit and I also count calories. If I go overboard, it is usually with Sunflower seeds, instead of 1 cup, I might do like 3 which I am trying to stop. But I was wondering how do you tell if something you buy online and consume is really keto friendly? Maybe it’s mt doing something wrong because today I weigh 125.4 lbs and very upset. Here are some of the stuff I eat:
