I dropped 5 lb in the first week, but in the next two weeks I only managed to drop a couple of pounds which actually keep wavering back and forth. It's hard to force my body past this point, I got stuck at this weight on every diet I've ever tried. On the plus side, I had diarrhea for a couple of months and within a day or two of stopping dairy that went completely away. I've always been unable to tolerate milk, but apparently I'm more lactose intolerant than I thought. I'm going to be adding back in butter and a little hwc in May, but I'm going to be a lot more conservative with my use of dairy products going forward.

Moondrake I appreciate your post . It is interesting that I have stopped at the weight I called my happy fat weight.
You have lost more that the 5 lbs right?
I am on my 2nd no dairy day except butter hoping that will be enough to kick start my body again. Butter is something I started using only a couple of months ago.
Thanks again for responding :)

Lara for Keto, its more important to go by the macros. You won't hit it perfectly every day unless you ate the same thing everyday (that had perfect #s). Its better to pre-fill your day and then look at the pie chart %s.
Your calories should be a small reduction to your daily caloric needs based on your current size and your activity. You won't have to reduce your calories unless you hit around a 3 week stall or so.
I hardly hit each gram of each of the macros, but I do pretty good at the pie chart percentages.
Keep the carbs low...add fat to things where you can, and eat until full.
(hopefully I answered your question)

Lara it's important to maintain the percentages. So if you are on a 5/25/70 macro plan, and you eat a lower number of grams of fat and/or protein, you need to reduce your carbs to stay under 5%. Carbs are a max, the fewer the better. Protein is a goal, try to hit it. Fat is a goal, hit it and even modestly exceed it. If you are eating fewer carbs, you can make up those calories in fat and protein.

Debi I am not KC I hit the stall wall for 9 days at week 3. I cut out Splenda and dairy down 3 lbs. I added cheese again (baked) so far ok. When I added HWC (heavy whipping cream) I bloated, if someone had stuck a pin in me I would have exploded LOL. So no more HWC. Our bodies have triggers so you might need to find yours. :) Hang in there and good luck

Debi Yes but since week 2 I have gotten off my famous cheesecake :). As I said I added back HWC with stevia but became the good year blimp :). I have a sodastream and have not made any drinks since last week. I treated myself today to 16 oz (splenda). Hope it does not bite me tomorrow during weigh in .
How are you doing?
