Gained weight

#1

Hello
I am on 2nd week on keto and I reduced 3 kg so far…but in 2 days I gained 700 gm…
Why?
I ate bit more last 2 days …but whatever I are that was low carb.

Weight loss is not a linear process, always ups and downs.

Usually it’s water due to salt intake. It’s no big deal. Once in lipoysis you’ve depleted glycogen, so your body isn’t carrying as much water so it’s more sensitive to things like salt induced water retention. You can easily vary several pounds in a day because of it. Measure yourself. It’s better than relying on the scale.

A HFLC diet isn’t inherently for weight loss. It is very possible to gain weight on a keto diet. For many people, excess calories will cause weight gain. This happened to me until I started fasting. Several of my family members are trying to maintain a state of ketosis (for optimal neurological health) without losing weight. They achieve this by insuring they consume sufficient calories, especially from fat.
