After the first week of keto (which is typically marked by a tremendous amount of water loss), weight loss can be unpredictable. Your calorie needs change depending on the day, and the amount you eat will never be exactly the same any given day either. This will translate to weight loss results that don’t follow a strict pattern. You might have some weeks where it seems you haven’t lost anything — then you’ll weigh yourself a week or two later and be down 3-4 pounds. The key to long-term weight loss is to stick with your plan, be patient, and don’t get discouraged. As long as you are losing weight at an average rate of 1-2 pounds per week, keep doing what you’re doing. If you find that your results have been stalling for over a month, then you will need to make adjustments to your diet and lifestyle so that you can break through your plateau. Here are some of the strategies that work the best for most people:
If you are feeling overwhelmed with all of this info, then following a meal plan may be the best way to simplify the keto diet for you. Throughout our website, we have plenty of free meal plans for you to try. Take this one for example: Monday
I recruited my BFF and now that she has lost 20 lbs she is passing all her now-too-big clothes to me since I am now at the weight she started at. It's pretty funny because some of the clothes were mine originally that I gave her when I gained a bunch of weight six or seven years ago. I also recruited my mom and I am passing some of my clothes to her. I love that we can benefit from each others' success! (Although I'm not sure what it says about our collective fashion sense if we are wearing styles from seven years ago... ;) )
If yall are eating as much spinach as I am it can be super frustrating because I either: 1. buy several bags of spinach and have some of it wilted and slimy by the time I use it or 2. have to go the grocery store 2-3x a week to buy fresh spinach aint nobody got time for that So i found out that if you put a dry paper towel in the bag with your spinach it absorbs most of the moisture and keeps your spinach fresh longer! Hope this helps yall as much as it helped me!
Been on Keto since 9/2/15... I was in "plateau" mode from November until January... Why? Silly me... I stopped paying attention to my macros, sorta went... "lazy mode."My best friend who continued to pay attention to his macros? Lost far more weight than me in this last month and a half.Making sure your carbs are under 30 net is fantastic... BUT PLEASE... FOR YOUR WEIGHT LOSS SAKE...CALORIES, PROTEIN, FAT AND CARBS MATTER. MFP every. damn. day. Since making sure my macros are in order, I am back on track and have lost 4.5lbs this week.KCKO.
