Hi
I’m 5 weeks in and had lost 8lbs total, until this weekend.
I got in the scale and put on 3lbs over the weekend, grrrr so I’m very deflated and feel like I’ve gone backwards.
I know keto is a lifestyle change, but I seriously need to lose some weight, I see posts where people drop vast amounts, but for me it’s a slow creep. Can I do something to tweak this up?
I believe I am fat adapted, because my energy has evened out, I’ve been sleeping better, and on Friday I was my lowest weight for a while, I feel ok.
This weekend I treated myself to 2 diet cokes… and 2 glasses of wine…(over the whole weekend, not in one go) and went up to 26 g of carbs. My calories were within my limit, fat still good.
This morning the wee stick (I know not very accurate) was moderate still.
I had been consistently under 15g carbs all through the week. And feeling good.
I’m wondering if I can try a fast to kick start my weight loss? How long should I do it for first time, and what it entails, for example, I usually drink a lot of tea (English) with milk, will I need to ditch the tea too? I like herbal so that would be fine. I also like coffee with cream, but I guess that’s not allowed.
Please advise me, I need a boost!
Ps I’m post menopause at 49 and on HRT and thyroxine so these may be playing a part, I really struggle to lose weight.
