New to Keto - Need advice!


(Joanna Parszyk ) #22

Dropping only 5 kg ( or the last 5 kg, so called vanity weight) is a bit more difficult. Your body wants you to be healthy, survive the winter and be fertile. It daycare how you look in a bikini or the fashionable skinny jeans. Guess how l know? :rofl::rofl::rofl:
My advice would be: do not mind the CALORIES until u r for sure fat adapted. Make sure your deficit is not toooo big. Not more than ( -15/20 %)
Then you can re evaluate your macros and focus on reducing fat tissue.
In the meantime you can work on toning muscle definition. Makes huge difference in the mirror, you drop inches (weight can go up but simply because muscle is denser than fat).
What worked for me is daily 16/8, occasional 36-48 fast, hitting a gym and doing heavy weights and not following one pattern for too long (keep your body guessing, fast clean and feast well).
Final note: your initial inches loss might have been water. Now you body is catching up with the fat burning. Just be patient, it takes time.

There are no fat/calorie limits. Only carb limits and not eating when not hungry.

Edit to say that calorie restriction is controversial and may be necessary for some people. But too low calories are also a problem, especially before you are fat adapted.
