Anything in ten days then something is wrong with that balance. Placing the body in Ketosis is a method to help maintain the calorie imbalance not a magic bullet for weight loss.

I would track calories going forward if you haven’t. If you have then you may need to re assess your TDEE

Day 11 of Keto diet

Cougarrr May the force be with you.

By day 11 I'd imagine you should be in ketosis. Are you tracking what you are eating for the carb content?

1/19/20 8:42am

Yep, I've stayed under 25 (except for 32 last Saturday)

Last year I dropped my carbs to <100/day instead of the 25 for keto. I feel like

Relatively lower carbs is much more realistic.

1/19/20 8:48am

Yeah my plan to is to do that after this short keto commitment.

Cougarrr

1/19/20 9:51am

That's what I want to do after I keep my goal of under 25 until the Superbowl.

Keto is not sustainable for 99% of people who try

I don't plan on sustaining it

Save the effort on this fad diet. Make real changes

1/19/20 9:22am

Nah, I'm going to finish this commitment and the continue to "make real changes"

Cougarrr

1/19/20 9:33am

As others have suggested though if you are on day 11 and no changes have been seen other than some initial water weight

1/19/20 9:38am

Amazing how much people enjoy criticizing each other’s diet plans. Good job dude

Huh? All I read in that post was some good advice. Amazing how people think anything but praise = attacking.

My bad I responded to the wrong response

Sounds like you just had a big poop. You're not in ketosis in one day.

1/19/20 9:24am

Are you tracking calories? That's all that matters and you're probably eating

WDaddy

I've stayed around 2000 calories.

Cougarrr

1/19/20 9:34am

How much do you weigh?

kotacoug

1/19/20 9:35am

Considering I'd probably been eating 3000 a day you'd think I'd be losing some weight. I was 245.

Cougarrr

1/19/20 9:56am

Your TDEE is somewhere around 2400

kotacoug

1/19/20 10:02am

And I've been eating less than that. You'd think I'd lose a bit more

Cougarrr

1/19/20 10:10am

Realistically at 2400 TDEE and with you eating ‘around’ 2000 cal a day

kotacoug

1/19/20 11:34am

Are you tracking or guestimating that 2000 calorie mark?

1/19/20 9:40am

Using a scale to weigh food? Tough to know how much you’re

kotacoug

1/19/20 9:41am

Yep.

Cougarrr

1/19/20 9:50am

Tracking. But I'm not in this thread to discuss what to change right now

Cougarrr

1/19/20 9:41am

I'm not calling it a fad and telling you to stop, but do you have to change

1/19/20 9:55am

Most days have looked like this. Probably need to up the fat.

Cougarrr

1/19/20 9:58am

If you think that’s all Keto is then you have a limited knowledge of a ketogenic

kotacoug

Way to jump to conclusions. kota being kota.

The calorie, a unit of heat, is a poor indicator of what foods will do as fuel

1/19/20 1:14pm

This doesn't make any sense. I've never heard of someone 11 days in who has lost only 2 pounds.

Maybe my insulin is messing with it. I take tresiba.

Cougarrr

1/19/20 9:47am

What physical component is mixed in? Your metabolism might need a jump.

1/19/20 10:14am

Nothing. I'm sure that is a big part of it

Cougarrr

1/19/20 10:16am

I dont think so

Backcountry

1/19/20 10:40am

Yeah, cheating on carbs will cost you 4 days.

1/19/20 11:23am

I wouldn’t weigh yourself every day. Once a week will be more motivating.
