Hi All,
I have started keto about 2 weeks ago. However, I have gained about 5 pounds in 2 weeks. Why ??
I don’t count calories, keep that in mind.
I have been eating 2 meals a day, no snacks in between, For example yesterday I had the following:
Breakfast - Nothing.
Lunch - I had non breaded chicken strips (breast) with butter, I cook it, then add mushrooms, and heavy cream, and little bit of parm cheese. i eat my lunch around 12 or 1 PM
Dinner - Fathead Pizza, 2 Cups of mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of almond flour, 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 egg, 2 tablespoon of cream cheese to make the dough. Then I add low carb tomato sauce, toppings, and more cheese. Yes I eat about 1/2 or 3/4 of the pizza ? I eat my pizza around 9 PM after i get home from work. I dont make pizza everyday, 2 or 3 times a week. All my dinners and lunches are/around the same time. I am not a coffee drinker.
ok weekends, I eat peruvian chicken with no sides. just the chicken (Sunday). on Saturday Chick fila grilled nuggets (30 count = ~550 calories) with avocado & lime dressing (The dressing is a Fat bomb, its 300 calories).
Other dinner dishes I eat: 2 avocado’s mushed with olive oil, 4 eggs with blue cheese.
Other lunch dishes I eat: non breaded chicken strips (breast) with butter, cooked, then 1 spoon of pesto sauce with sun dried tomatoes.
desserts: Diet root beer float. I make with 2 scoops of halo top ice cream, and whipped cream .my whipped cream is made from mascarpone cheese mixed with whipped cream liquid, liquid stevia, and vanilla extract.
Or mascarpone cheese with whipped cream and unsweetened chocolate mixed in.
I usually eat dessert about 3, 4 times a week.
By the time I get home I am hungry and cant wait to eat.
I don’t exercise right now, my job is sitting at a desk all day. However, I do take walks about a mile a day when its not cold or raining or snowing, etc.
What am I doing wrong ??
