Just want to say thank you to everyone who weighed in on this conversation. I’m really grateful that anyone would take the time to help little old me with any of my struggles. I’m still struggling and I’ve been waiting for a good 3 days of perfectly tracked macros, so I could get back on here and tell people, “see? I’ve done it exactly right and I’m still not in ketosis!”, but something always seems to get in the way of tracking perfectly. I’m still trying and maybe I’ll simplify my food intake for the next few days to just meat and veggies and avocados and eggs, to see if that helps. Thanks again, everyone 
How do you track your macros?

Hi Sarah, general health but predominantly weight loss. I don’t have any known health issues but do feel by managing my weight it supports overall health.

Hi, maybe you are in ketosis, what made you say you’re not.
How many grams Total carbs do you aim for. Are you sure there are no hidden or forgotten carbs? It can take just one little treat.
That’s a general comment about all medication. Please don’t stop or start any medication because of anything you hear on this forum from anyone, including me. But if someone is burning fat yet retaining water weight then it can indeed be the meds, some of them cause water retention, but not for all people …
There have been stories of people getting less migraines on keto so it seems well worth the effort. I think everyone has to tweak one thing or another. Speed bumps on the road.

If your goal weight is 60 kilograms, you want to have 60 to 90 grams of protein each day. Your goal body weight is what you will weigh after you have lost the weight you are planning to lose (with the assumption that you would be about 15 to 20% body fat - not necessarily your next goal where, for example, being at 200 kilograms and the next goal is 150 or something).
