Gaining weight on keto

Hello from DebraGator :).   If you drop your calories to low you will stall your weight loss.  Splenda and Stevia make me crave and stall. I am on week 5-6 and have lost 15 lbs.  I don't test my blood or urine but I knew when I went into fat burning mode.   If fasting works for you great but if you get hungry eat. This is not your typical diet where we have to starve.  Get your fat and protein as close as possible and never over on carbs.  Good Luck and stay in touch :)

Tallynoles98 It took about 2-3 weeks to get it right.  I never went over my carbs but did with fat and protein.  Carb Manager had a challenge and it really made me pay attention and for 13 days I hit within 10 gm on protein and fat :) 

You ask how : 

Egg Bites With Sausage 2.8 ounce , (make my own recipe)

Chicken Thighs Bone In Skin On  10 ounce

Coconut Oil 1 teaspoon

Fat Bomb 2 0z (make my own recipe)

Butter 1 tbsp 

 peas (bad)2/3 cup 

Teddi PB sugar free 1 tbsp 

11.2 carbs        97.3 gm fat         69.4 protein 1237 calories 

Today I had a 1/2 lb wt. gain so bumped up my calories 

Tallynoles98 I started focusing on staying under calorie and carb goals while learning to balance fat and protein. Entering food in app before eating, when you can still make changes, is very helpful.  Meal planning and prepping makes a big difference.  I freeze individual portions and pull out as needed.  It will get easier, just give yourself a chance to adjust to this new way of eating. Good Luck

 1/4 c coconut oil, melted \

4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 

4 oz cream cheese, softened 

1 tbsp lemon zest, finely grated 

lemon juice

1 tsp lemon juice 

lemon extract

lemon extract, optional 

Stevia or any sweetener you like 

 Beat all the ingredients until smooth I have used an ice cube tray (small) and yesterday I used a pie plate. You can eat them right away but I put them in the freezer. Break into small pieces put in a jar in the refrigerator.    

You can put  in the recipe and carb manager will figure it all out.  I do mine by oz. 

Tallynoles98 I don't like left overs so feel free to use more.  These actually taste better the next day.  3 oz (your choice) bacon or sausage cooked.  Beat 2 eggs add sausage or bacon to mix and cook. I have an Ninja Foodie  so I save a few pieces (bacon or sausage) for the top.  I pressure cook the eggs in my silicone mold but I believe you can microwave the silicone mold. Search and you will find a lot of egg bite molds. :).   All done . The bites average 2.6 oz.

Tallynoles98 DUH now you have 2 recipes for the egg bites :)

Tallynoles98 Any time for the garnet and gold (don't tell anyone) :)

Tallynoles98 See you in Nov :)

Tallynoles98 I think so 

Tallynoles98  It appears that when you enter a new weight in measurements your daily macros change.  I am not sure how many pounds lost trigger a lower calorie/macro change.  I went in yesterday and lowered my calories under setting, macros because I felt like it was to many allowed.  Then I realized so what you don't have to eat all the calories so Leave It Alone (to me from me) :). Is this clear as mud now? 

debra06201374ad  you can go into settings under macros and turn off the auto adjust. Go all the way down to the bottom and you will see the section the adjusts macros and calories based on weight. Hope this helps. 

Abarnhart Thanks I am going to decrease my net carbs.
