How much have you lost?
I have been doing Keto for about two weeks now and have not seen any weight loss. I have been feeling great, but wonder what should the expectations be for losing weight. I realize its based on individual goals, but curious to see how others have progressed. Can you all share how long you have been in Keto and how many lbs lost? Thanks!

18:6 fasting seems to help. I started three weeks ago looking to lose 20 lbs. I’ve lost probably about 6-7 lbs so far (mostly water weight I assume), but clothes are definitely fitting better. I miss the carbs but I feel strangely emotionally more solid on this diet. I’ll continue until I hit my goal. I haven’t been hitting my fat goals religiously as I think it’s mostly to feel satiated. I have a Keto breath analyzer and I’ve been in ketosis for at least the last two weeks. Let’s see how this goes. Good luck everyone.

Koshka When you first start your keto diet, your liver produces a lot of ketones and your body is confused what exactly to do with them, so it expells them through your urine. As your body becomes fat or keto adapted, it will begin to burn those ketones as fuel instead of expelling them. So at some point you may show very low to no ketones in your urine and that's a great thing!! The only way to be sure from that point on is to get a blood ketone monitor.

Moondrake thank you for the details on strips not working. I am 9 weeks in and have lost 17 pounds, one pound shy of my initial goal (195). I have seen weight loss slow and am wondering what you think about reassement of macros . After losing the weight, do I need to reset again?
I am at 1750 cal or less, 19carb, 139g fat, 50g protein

MTL I'm sure not the one to give tips cuz I'm new & still learning keto, but do you follow your pie chart or graph thingy closely?
That's why I'm losing steady I guess. I struggle hard to get in everything I've put on the chart by the end of the day. I've even ate one TBSP of saurkraute to bring the chart to perfect. LOL. Geeesh!
