This is a question for those that have experienced a stall or plateau in their weight loss.
Given: in ketosis and normal metabolic functions, making adjustments in overall caloric intake according to weight and activity levels, having some semi-scientific way of tracking both (HRM, weighing foods, etc)
When you look back was your stall or plateau actually just caused by getting a little loose with your diet or activity level?
I’ve been ‘stalled’ the last few weeks and it was just a few sneaky carbs and a few IF and blatant cheats that were really the cause of it.
Too many cashews, roasted garlic and - yeah I should have known better - caramelized red onions and way too many of them! A few times, I ate a 3rd meal to be sociable. Sometimes, I sneaked a few raisins and craisins while making my sons lunch.
From everything I’ve read and seen the laws of thermodynamics don’t change. If you adjust your caloric intake or activity level to create a deficit while under ketosis the result will be body fat consumed.
Question is - when you’re 100% honest and looking back at your stall - was it really just a lapse of discipline or failure to make adjustments in calorie intake and/or activity level?
