Hi guys,
With my wedding coming up in 2020, I decided to go keto after several failed diets.
My starting weight - 198lb
Week 1 weigh in - 190lb (fab!)
Week 2 weigh in - 190lb (no change )
I use the My Fitness Pal app, take no more than 20g carbs per day, aim for 90g protein per day and rest of it fat for around 70% fat intake. I have approx 1200-1400 kcals daily and I haven’t cheated - even over Easter and my sisters Hen/Bachelorette party!
I have been checking my ketones in my urine, and I’ve high ketones. I even bought the ketone blood monitor and I’m reading at 2.2mmol/L
Example of my diet yesterday -
Morning - 3 x boiled eggs with some salt
Lunch time - Bunless burger (homemade by me) with 15% fat beef mince with no other ingredients, a slice of bacon, - (burger and bacon fired in olive oil) quarter cup iceberg lettuce, a tsp full fat mayo, 30g real cheddar cheese
Snack - 25g macadamia nuts, 25g brazil nuts
Dinner - Salmon fried in olive oil with roasted asparagus and brocolli. I made my own homemade pesto - handful of basil leaves, 10g pine nuts (I know higher in carbs but accounted for this), parmesan, half a clove of garlic, and olive oil,
I have also been drinking diet coke as I feel it’s my only vice during this thing.
Total cals - 1360
Fat 116g 75%
Carbs 16g 4%
Protein 70g 21%
Can anyone please kindly tell me where I am going wrong? Or is this normal for week 2?
Thanks
