Not Loosing Weight - After three weeks
Been on Keto diet for 3 weeks, tracking everything Keto plan: 5%carb. 25% protein, 70% fat. This is my first time on the diet and wondering if I am being too egressive with my % often fine veggies swing me over my % by end of day.
I weigh every morning every night and there is only a 5lb swing, mostly water I would think.
Strips state low Keto levels
Absolutely NO complex carbs. Following all the rules of the diet.
Drink Bullet coffee, zero processed foods, sugar or salt very low intake, the odd chocolate but it is 85-90% cacao, no alcohol at this point.
5000k steps per day
3 days of low impact stretching and free weights.
On the plus side have notice clothing fits looser. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dooglazz , sounds pretty good but missyjre9bcb is right. You may be trading fat for muscle and muscle is heavier so looser clothes is a good sign. My only thought is change your macro ratios just a bit to 75, 20, 5. If you're insulin resistent or eating too much protein, this could help push you farther into ketosis. Good luck but sounds like you're doing great. Keep it up.

Just throwing this out there, what are your calories? Even with Keto, you'll have to retain a decreased caloric intake to lose weight. If you were eating 4000 calories of protein and fats (which lord knows how you could do that, I get full at about 1700 calories), you're going to gain weight. This also means if you're eating enough calories to maintain your weight, then you won't lose any.
