Dill Pickles....Good or Bad ??
Hello my Keto Friends, need some feedback concerning dill pickles. I LOVE pickles; been eating alot of them daily and noticed that my weight loss stalled for a few weeks now. In fact, I gained back 3 lbs, even with following the program to a tee. So, I didn"t eat any pickles yesterday and fasted for 17 hours. This morning I weighed and seen that the scale was down 4.2 lbs. HOW ? WHY ? I have only been doing Keto since middle of February, so alot of this is kinda new to me yet. Anyone have anything to share about dill pickles.....are they good or bad??!!?? Take care and Happy Keto Day to you !!

Have you recalculated your Macros for your current weight?
-
Do you search in the food section for your brand of pickles? I bet they are high in carbs
-
They shouldn’t be 🤔 but depending on the brand the carbs may be higher
-
My mistake I should have looked up the carb count before posting.

Even if the carb counts are off, I doubt pickles could cause you to gain 3 pounds in a few days (3500 calories above your BMR equal one pound). There is a chance that you haven’t been getting enough water, and then couple that with the large amounts of sodium in most pickles and you could simply have gained some water weight. Not as easy to do while in Ketosis of course, but not outside the realm of possibility. Just my two cents.

SteveEEK I was thinking exactly that myself.

Thank you to everyone that responded to my post....I really value your opinions, comments, advice and thoughts. It's so nice to have Keto Friends here; other than you all, I don't have any support whatsoever. Nobody I know understands or even agrees with my Keto plan. So, I am really figuring this out and doing this on my own. So THANK YOU my Keto Friends !! Just know that you DO make a difference !! Blessings !!
