Hi. 11 days ago I posted here. I started this keto journey at 215 pounds (one month ago). When I posted I was up to 218.
I stayed on the diet and tracked my macros after all the advice I received and got to 208. I knew that was water weight but I needed inspiration to continue.
I went off the diet to celerate a friends birthday 2 days ago. I immediately got back on.
Today I weigh 220.
I have done nothing but gain weight since I started this diet, and right now I have to tell you I am ready to quit. I do not understand how this works for anyone. It is incredibly restrictive! Especially when I am still getting conflicting information from everyone (Count calories! Don’t count calories! Watch your protein! Don’t watch anything but carbs! Ignore fat! Don’t go over your fat!)
I’m really disgusted and frustrated right now. If I can’t go off the diet to celebrate someone’s birthday this is not the diet for me - or anyone else.
Also, its incredibly expensive! This is alot ot pay to watch me break my scale.
The only way I am ever able to lose weight is to starve, which is why I can’t ever get more than 10 pounds off. I really hoped this would fix that problem, expecially as I feel so much better on this diet.
I am open to suggestions as I am really discouraged.
