sup bois,

just need some quick clarification or input, i started out at 224 lbs 3 weeks ago, i dropped to 223 the following week, i weighed myself this week and i still remained at 223.

I've been following keto type diet for 6 days and carb up on sunday after a depletion workout, i weigh myself on monday morning. My calories stay around 1800 -2000 a day.

I workout 5 times a week and my job is physically demanding, so my question is, is weighing myself after my carb up day not going to give me a accurate weight? Because im already eating a lot under maintenance as it is.

And my carb up days arent just pigging out on junk food, its pretty controlled and not super bad foods. (sushi/ihop/ etc..)

shank you !

If you were actually consuming 2k cal at your bodyweight and activity level, you would be shedding weight FAST. You aren't counting your calories correctly.

how do you put sushi and ihop together smh.

Also 'this' at pretty much every post. I hope you realize keto isn't superior in any way and are just doing it because you prefer that way of dieting.

I'll join the choir and suggest that you probably aren't counting your calories right. It's possible you're retaining water, but I doubt that.

Also, how many calories are you consuming on your high-calorie day?

Have you tried this formulation for keto:

weight in pounds x 12 - low-calorie day
weight in pounds x 16 = high-calorie day

By 'weight', I mean whatever the current weight is on the day you're doing the multiplication. You don't need to adjust it every day, but if you're losing weight you should consider adjusting it every couple of weeks.

Also, define "keto": what are your macro breakdowns? Do you use a food scale? Do you track them closely with an app? If not, get thee to an app store ;)

I'm not questioning your competency but I am checking to see exactly what you're doing because if you're going with 1800-2000 calories/d @223, it makes no sense that weight isn't just melting off your body.

To give a contrast, just using the formula I gave you above, I've seen clients lose an average of 1 pound per day if they're doing purposive exercise, they're young, and they don't have major metabolic issues. I lost 19 pounds in 3 weeks on keto the last time I did it (with 0 cardio), and I'm currently on keto and I've lost 4 pounds in 4 days. This is with cycling a higher calorie day (x16) on every 4th day of the diet protocol--at least using the advanced version I do. (I go under x12 on my low calorie days)

The numbers don't lie so you need to check your numbers again.

it wasn't together. they were separate carb up days. one was ihop, the other day was sushi.



as for all of the comments regarding me not tracking properly, i find that hard to believe, i do track everything down. i use myfitnessapp as well as look at the item and make sure its the right stats. i've been logging since i started and thats why i was confused as to why it wasnt moving on the scale weekly and figured weighing myself after carb up day was the culprit. this week has all been in the 1800 range and ive logged everything, prior to this week was basically the same foods.

a typical day for me would be the following

wake up - keto coffee 242 cals
workout
breaky - 4 large eggs, 1 tbsp avo oil, 1 medium avocado, 1 scoop vega protein(no carb) - 754 cals
skip lunch
dinner - usually steak and 8 brazil nuts cals range from 700-800

edit ; also since ive started no carb / keto i've been having my carb up days WEEKLY , ive read that some people go every other week instead. is that a better option? also my break down is around 20-25 carbs, 125-150 fats, 115-130 protein

double edit; but for sure will monitor my calorie intake closer to confirm. Thanks!
