hi there. I started keto 3 mo ago approx, just reading about satiation. is this good or bad?? I find I am not hungry. just wondering if that is why I am not losing . i have lost 30lbs but at a plateau now. does anyone fast to increase ketosis? or break ketosis to reboot
Keto confusion
âSatiationâ just means ânot hungryâ or âfeeling like youâve had enough to eat.â Doesnât mean âstuffed so full you canât possibly eat another bite.â
Eating to satiety means âeat if you are still hungry but stop when you are feeling full.â
So you are IFing already. If you want, you could try a 24-hour fast, later working up to 48 or more. This might break your plateau. Or, you could change up the amount youâre eating (some bigger meals, some smaller) to shake up your system (this is recommended anyway - our systems are always trying to ânormalizeâ at new levels if we keep doing the same thing constantly). OR - your body could be doing some inner healing and reorganizing (taken body measurements lately?), and you could just KCKO.
Plateaus are a completely normal part of weight loss. Youâve lost so much in so little time, it might be good to maintain a few weeks before losing again. Yes I know that sounds discouraging lol. But itâs the advice my momâs doctor gave her after she lost 40-ish pounds.
Iâve also read that a boost in cardio exercise might help. Also, maybe reducing fats a bit (assuming this does not have the effect of making you hungrier).
Good luck and stay strong!
If youâre not hungry, you might try fasting? Try 1 day then 2 or three⌠Fasting broke my plateau. Fasting is a natural part of our evolutionary past. Our bodies know well how to do it.
I am no expert - I did three 5-day fasts. So farâŚ
@Marlene_Fazekas I was going to suggest shortening your eating window, OMAD, or some fasting. When I did I started losing again and pretty quickly too.
Something to do with the name change after the first post? Just a guessâŚ
Not sure who did it, maybe just a glitch⌠nothing to take personal thoughđ
The discord forum software is automated. It might just be because you posted 5 times in a row instead of using one post to thank people. So the software might think youâre a spammer. Just a guess.
Iâm sure the mods will fix it when then see whatâs happened.
