I reposting my reply to another post on this same topic.
I’ve lost 120 pounds on keto so I’ve hit a few stalls along the way.
Sometimes I hit a stall because my body wants to establish a new baseline. I’m not doing anything different but my body just is putting on the brakes for a while.
When I increase the intensity of my workouts I can hit a weight loss stall because intense workouts switch my body to burning glucose from my muscles liver or protein that I eat. Low intensity workouts actually help me lose weight easier because they are fat burning. When I increase the intensity of my work out I then add in a slow stationary bike ride in the afternoon to switch back to that fat burning mode.
Sometimes I stall because I need to reduce calories. It is popular in Keto to say don’t count calories but counting calories is critical for me.
