Hi, this will be my 3rd week on Keto. I’m a breastfeeding mama so started at 50g net carbs but since last week am averaging about 20-30g net carbs with no milk supply issue or hunger.
However for the past 3 days I’ve been HUNGRY! Like really hungry! I eat fat until satiety and moderate amounts of protein. I’m having plenty of water and electrolytes also.
In the first week I lost 6lbs but since then just another 3lbs.
I started my menstrual cycle yesterday, could that be why I’m feeling so hungry? But I also discovered some protein bars on Friday - pulsin peanut choc -5g net carbs, could something in this be making me feel hungry?
I was using ketone urine strips which confirmed I was in Ketosis but they ran out a few days ago so I have no way of confirming that I’m in Ketosis.
What do you think?
