Hello guys I’m in keto since November 2017 it’s the first time I have this level which is good for me but the problem I’m not losing weight I knw ketosis it’s not only abt losing weight but I want to lose ! Ok I’m not fat but all I want it is 4 kilos less I’m 122 lbs and 5.3 height my question is I have to move more if I more more with my ketones level it will work ? Before keto when I used to eat high carb or normal carb like 80 g per day and go to the gym I never lost weight maybe with ketosis gym will help ? I dnt believe the gym help with losing weight however I’m an active person ! But maybe with ketosis gym will really help and btw my daily calories is not more than 1000 calories ( I knw u ll say it’s low but I knw myself I have a low metabolism since I’m always dieting) and I’m 30 yrs thnx

Are you sate with your 1000 calories or you’re restricting calories?
Seems like your body slowed the metabolism due to years of dieting.
I believe you should slowly add more fat, a little more every day.

You should probably check your measurements rather than weight; they’ll be a better indicator of what’s happening (also probably more relevant to you, assuming you want to lose weight to be smaller in some areas?).
That said - 5’3" and 122 lbs is pretty small already, and eating in a way that works for your body will tend to stabilize you at a healthy weight which may or may not look like what you think it should be…
Keto is not a short-term weight loss strategy, even if people often get that as a result.

You’ll most likely need to fix this first, a healthy metabolism is a massive component of fat loss.

how you need to feed yourself, and how the average human needs to eat for health and a healthy weight, are related but not the same. Losing weight is still about calories, even on keto, but many people find that their metabolism and how their body burns fat, changes dramatically on keto, and the number of calories that is right for you, may be different than what you expect. there are tons of online calculators that can help you guess about how many calories you need, but in the end, you just have to eat and be healthy and tweak things till you get it right.

This is why we advise eating fat to satiety. As Dr. Westman puts it, “Yes, calories matter, but you shouldn’t count them.” If you keep your carbohydrate low, your protein moderate, and eat enough fat to satisfy your hunger, you will automatically eat an amount that gives your body enough energy to do what it needs to do. Some of this may involve healing processes that were damaged by years of restricting calories, and you may actually gain weight, because your body may add some muscle mass, but you should burn off your excess store of fat in the process, thereby losing inches even if not pounds.

Don’t be afraid to add some calories to see if it will help. When I first started keto I was keeping @ 1200 calories…Lost at first and after awhile stalled out a bit…I decided to add just 100 calories a day to see if it had any effect and wouldn’t you know I started losing again…Never would have though a calorie increase would help me lose weight, but it did.
Like poster above said…It might take some tweaking…

I dont think this is true across the board, especially for people who are new to keto. Some one who is very metabolically deranged, and/or has been using restrictive dieting for a long time, may have such an unhealthy perception of what feeling full is like, or may have such distorted brain chemistry, that they do need real guidelines for “how to do it”, while their metabolism resets. Fortunately for most of us, that happens pretty damn fast.
