HELP -Slow and steady weight loss. Macros?
Hi,
I really need some help.
i’ve been on keto since July 15th - 48 days. I am happy that I’m down 15lbs, but I feel like I should be losing weight faster? My body works quiet well with diet changes + working out combo.
Below are my measurements along with my macros.
female
25 yrs
starting weight: 234lbs
current weight: 219lbs
height 5’4
work out - 3x a week - intense workouts
when i first did my macros at my starting weight they gave me almost 1900cals, I could not keep up with that and had to cut down to 1500 calories. So when I customized my calories, it cave me these macros
5% carbs -19grams
25% protein -93grams
70% fats -116grams
1500 Calories. And I track everyday
HELP ME... I have lots of fat on me, how can I kick this up and lose more weight per week like most keto-ers
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hi you are doing really well If you carry on losing at that rate it will he over 100lbs in a year. Everyone's weight loss journey is different as so many factors can affect it - current weight. age. exerise, metabolism etc so as hard as it is you shouldn't compare your loss with others although it's so easy to do

The body can only metabolize 1-2 lbs. of fat per week, so I think you are right on track. If you were losing more than that, it would be water or muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat, so you might be gaining muscle from your intense workouts. I think you are doing great. I'll bet your clothes feel better.
