Hey guys,
So you’re all probably going to laugh at me but I’m stuck in my head.
I’ve been on carnivore + omad(23:1 fasting) since 2024-02-22, so barely 1,5 weeks.
At first it was going great, I lost some water weight and some more, total 5,9 Kg(13 lbs).
Today when I stood on the scale I had gone up 0.6 kg again(~1.2 lbs).
Changes I’ve made in diet:
I started using MCT C8 oil in a cup of tea everyday, drinking it at the same time I had my meal.
I ate ~400 grams of minute steak yesterday together with 50g of bearnaise which on the label(after I divided it) had:
Grams: 50
Protein(grams): 0.2
Fat(grams): 19.5
Carbs(grams): 0.05
Fibers(grams): 0
Calories: 353
I also had some cheese(not even 50g) with a meal the day before.
I don’t eat more than 500g / 1 lbs of meat each day so I’m already in quite a bit of calorie defecit aswell as no carbs and fasting.
I haven’t had a bowel movement in 2 or 3 days(can’t remember).
–
I know I should add more fats and people tell me to eat more but I don’t really feel the hunger anymore and 500g / 1lbs makes me full now, I don’t even finish it all.
But this small weight gain scares me, what am I doing wrong?
Please tell me I’m just overthinking it?
Also, if I don’t feel hungry at my daily meal time, should I just not eat until the next day?
Edit:
And I just thought of a few possible reasons… 1) I usually just weigh myself directly in the morning which I did not do today, and 2) I’ve had a lot of water up until now (2:40 pm), atleast 2,5 liters which equates to 2,5 kg(~5 pounds)… So that could explain a bit I guess
Cheers,
Sid
