Help! Newbie to Keto and lost too much weight


#21

I think that is probably the best idea. Read the stall posts and look at all the items people say to the stalled person to eliminate and add them in. Peanut butter (natural), dairy, nuts and berries all great ideas. Maybe some stevia or erythrotal with heavy whipped cream. Have fun with it instead of forcing yourself to eat what does not appeal. Maybe some keto milkshakes. As for protein, I think 150 grams is a crazy amount of protein for someone that weighs 100 lbs. The most I have heard as being normal is 1g per lb. Usually it is 1g to 1.5g per k. While I do not track, I would not go to 150g even for me and I weigh a lot more than you. Again have fun with it, deep fry foods you would enjoy eating, just be careful of the oil as vegeatable oil is unhealthy

Thanks so much! Great ideas! The thoughts of having to eat all that every day was nauseating!

Do keep us updated on your progress. Many are here to lose weight but the issue of too much weight loss does also come up & it would be really helpful if we had more anecdotes & tips :smile:

I absolutely will! I just purchased a Smart Scale so hopefully it will make tracking progress a little easier. Thanks so much!

Keto calculators are based merely on some Guru’s opinion. Since the issue is Lipolysis, let’s look at the actual Science. The calculators recommend what I consider to be an absurdly high amount of fat and borderline low protein. High fat is fine, and is recommended during initial adaptation, but as you body uses it more efficiently it’s unnecessary and can cause stalls. The low protein macros are caused by Gurus not understanding that Gluconeogenesis is demand driven, feeding the mistaken concept that somehow excess protein will be converted to glucose. This also feeds the nutty anti meat agenda. In reality, the evolutionary meat macro is around 35 percent, following the Whole Animal concept. 60-35-5 percent is what is typically cited, and is the macro I lost all my fat on and I’ve been following it for nearly 20 years. You are completely Lipolytic following that macro.

What Ken said :metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:

I track in order to monitor my carb macro and besides that, just eat shedloads of meat. This pushes my protein macro “too high,” but not massively too high, because eating lots of protein means I don’t eat too much overall as I get fuller quicker.

Have you thought about going to body signals for eating? Limit carbs to minimal. Eat real foods high in fat to satiety. Enough protein will come with the fat if you’re eating real food.
Just eat to satiety, whenever hungry! Simple enough? No need to track some app’s concept of what you “should” eat. Let your body decide what it needs. Listen to it.

Good health will come your way
