Hello all! This is my first post. I’ve been on a ketogenic diet since Sept 2015, and love how it makes me feel. I’ve managed to lose 50lbs eating this way, as well as practicing intermittent fasting.
I am female, age 33, height 5’1" SW 171lbs, CW 121lbs, goal 115lbs.
I had actually reached my goal weight in November 2016, and slowly increased the amount of calories I was eating by about 50 per day until I stopped losing. Since Feb 2016 I’ve noticed a creep in my weight in the wrong direction… only by 5lbs, but it seems to be sticking and not fluctuating. The calories I had been maintaining at were about 1470 with 125(ish) grams of fat, 65(ish) grams of protein, and 20-25 grams net carbs. Workout 1 time per week, combo of sprints and heavy (for me) weight training.
I really like eating like this but I’m terrified of becoming the person I used to be… I don’t want to gain the weight back. I’m hoping there is somebody on here who has experience as a long term keto-er who has maintained their weightloss? How do you do it? Can you offer me any advice?
I’m very sorry for the long post, and am very grateful for any advice… cheers!
