Hey guys! I finally stopped only stalking reddit and got on board, woot woot!
So ive been eating keto, and I did really good all last week. Friday night I drank vodka and soda, and didn’t drink at all Saturday or Sunday. I’ve been logging my calories and meeting my macros, and I’m discouraged I’m at the same weight I started at last week. I’m not sure if maybe I’m having a sensitivity to dairy, however I did the HCG diet years back, and was able to eat keto in “Phase 3” with no problems while maintaining weight around 128-130 lbs. I used to low carb, low fat at a 1200 calorie limit with intense exercise once a day and shredded weight before my wedding a year ago and got down 20 lbs I gained to 134 lb. Now I’m back at 153 lbs, and the scale hasn’t budged so I decided to try keto.
Here are my stats:
5’2 height
153.4 lbs
Waist 30 3/4”
Hips 39 1/4”
Arms 12” each
Legs 22 1/2”
I’ve been eating around 1200-1450 calories a day just trying to figure out what fits best for me, since before I had success eating low calories (but obviously gained it back) and my body likes to be stuck around this weight! An example of what I ate yesterday…
Breakfast - 430 cals
Coffee
Tbsp heavy cream
Vanilla stevia
Keto egg casserole
Snacks - 393 cals
Salami, cream cheese asparagus roll ups
Celery and keto pb
Maybe 10 blueberries
Half small avacado
Lunch -
1 chicken sausage Spinach feta
1 chicken sausage green chili
1 tbsp olive oil mayo
No added sugar ketchup
Mustard
Dinner - 465 cals
Jalapeño cheddar burger patty
2 oz pepper jack cheese
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp ketchup
1 1 tbsp olive oil mayo
Total calories - 1542
Macros 101g protein/18g net carbs/111g fat
Even though I went over my calorie intake I still don’t know what gives. I weighed less yesterday… I bought keto stripes and the ketone BHB supplements I’m taking along with turmeric and b12 and a few other supplements, as well as keto electrolyte powder for my water. Is this normal when starting out in keto? I’m going to start working out again today now that I have my electrolytes ( I took a break last week… felt awful!) and I’m really hoping I can cut some weight by my anniversary in 2 weeks!! I feel bloated and squishy LOL. Not like I do when I eat low fat & carbs at 1200 calories while working out. Advise is greatly appreciated guys, thank you!
