Are you exercising or weight lifting? Don’t give up the scale is not our friend I Found that out the hard way gave up after three weeks and that was my big mistake because I saw I lost inches so don’t rely solely on the scale it’s the devil

The quality of food matters as well, are you eating all natural and refraining from the “low carb” processed foods? I am new to restarting keto after years of consuming “low carb” bars. I have switched to a clean diet, very little processed foods and absolutely no protein bars and 6 days in I’ve lost 5 lbs which I am sure is water weight but should be an indicator that my stubborn body is making the internal change so that it will start burning fat. Another mistake I have been making the last 10+ years is consuming too much protein. It’s too soon for me to comment further because I am still unsure how my body will respond this time around, this post just caught my eye because I can relate. However, please do NOT give up. I have listened to several podcasts and have read books and articles and I have taken away that it can take up to a month to kick in. Keep us updated!
