Weight loss stall
I’ve been on keto for about 10 weeks. Worked well st first (water weight), then I stalled for a month. I have sixty more pounds to lose and I have been weighing food and overestimating when I can’t weigh food. I keep my daily carbs between 20 (goal) and 30 (maybe twice a week). I’ve tried intermittent fasting but my schedule makes it impossible. Any ideas?

Kaaryn Simmons I wish I knew also. My weight loss has been pretty quick but I am only on day 15. I expect to see an increase in weight and I will do a fast. Fasting does not have to be 24 hours think about the last time you eat and get up. Example is I stop eating at 5:30 Pm most days and try not to eat breakfast until 9 or 10. That gives me a 14 hour fast. If you go to work and need to eat I understand completely but maybe work in last time you eat :).
Another trick I learned on here was entering my food for a day and play with the numbers. One day I had a perfect balance so I copied that day and mimic it as much as possible the next day. Then I slid and had to go back to the perfect day and do it all over again. We are all learning what works :)

Robert N. Bryant debra06201374ad Been on 20hr window now for about 8 months and I feel incredible throughout the day. That said, when I eat my 1 meal around 7pm I can’t go much lower than like 40 carbs (eating good fats, etc, etc) and I’m really not losing anything. I started a 2/wk HIIT workout thing about 3 weeks ago that’s kicking my a$$ so maybe it’s the added muscle, but I’m kinda stuck. Anyone know if there’s a big difference initially between 20 carbs/day vs 40? (Averaged over a 1 month period). Doing everything else right, but feel like there’s just something missing. Thx!!!

mitch1291 Yes, there is a big difference between 20 and 40 carbs a day. The 40 might be too high to get you into ketosis. Sounds like you are in a little bit of a "keto stall" I have a good article for you to read that should be helpful to you: https://www.ketogenicinfo.com/2019/02/how-to-get-past-stall-on-ketogenic-diet.html
