I could call myself a low carb/keto veteran but this takes the biscuit and really haven’t experienced this before since.
I have successfully been doing the ketogenic and low carb diet for 4 + years, but over the past year I gained 2 stone (carb creep/craving), due to study stress.
Got back on the keto diet pronto (as you do). Initiially I lost a stone, but now my weight loss has slowed, but I’m ok with that as long as I’m shrinking.
The problem is all this weird looking, cottage cheese, jiggly fat all over my thighs is becoming out of control, and some of it looks more deformed on one thigh to the other.
It is really sci fi and strange.
My legs before keto (and even when I was doing it religiously all those years ago) were firm, I rarely ever have issues with dimply, squishy fat and I’m hoping it will bugger off soon. It has hung around for a good 2 months now and getting a bit sick of the sight of it.
My eating hasn’t changed, accept I eat less because of course, lack of hunger.
I have added more heavy weights to my exercise routine which I do 2-3 times a week, in an effort to minimise. Noticing very slight improvement but not massive, and quite emabrraseed to wear shorts even though I’m losing, and it’s summer - I have festivals to attend!. Ah, its quite frustrating.
What is this weird looking fat about?? It looks like it has been displaced, and it’s concerning.
Guys, what to do, andy tips? Is it hormonal (I’m a woman)? Do I need more salt, less salt? More water? I’m drinking about 2 litres a day, even though not as thirsty…
