No loss in 2 weeks

(Angelique Jury) #21

Hello everyone :blush::blush:
I’ve been keeping my eating window going for 1 week now. I will weigh tomorrow :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers: (im scared actually)
I wanted to ask though…i hv a dinner tomorrow night. Now i can eat best i can seeing as there are unknowns when u go out. I read that ur body will remain in ketosis as long as u stay under 100 net carbs a day. So my question is… Let’s say i hit 40g-60g net carbs on one of my days… Will this hugely affect my progress?
I’ve been keeping 20 or below everyday…im just asking for in case of these dinner/ outing days.

Anheligue how are you doing with keto. 2 weeks today I was expecting a loss on the scale was very upset when I got on I only list 2 pounds in over 2 week

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #23

Try to get enough calories to give your body enough energy to heal and to be willing to part with excess stored fat. Do that by keeping carbohydrate under 20g/day and eating fat to satiety. Don’t worry about the scale so much, either. Your body may put on some lean muscle, which will confuse your scale, so go by your measurements and by how your clothes fit, to get an idea of your progress.

Thanks for the reply I may need to up the calories i been also trying to get more fat in with the mct oli. I been using the keto stick and shows I am in ketosis so hopefully the fat burning kicks in.
Thanks

I’ve been eating smaller meals thinking that was a good way to manage any hunger pains- I didn’t realize that every time I eat I was secreting insulin.

Yes, the fewer times you eat a day the better! And when you do eat, eat a full meal. Read The Obesity Code or look up videos by Dr Jason Fung if you haven’t, on the role insulin and meal timing plays in weight gain. It really is the entire key to keto!

Thanks so much @LizinLowell- I have but one more (I hope only one) question… Can I drink water while IF?

Of course! And keep up with your salt
