flavored coffee??? Help please
This is my second time doing the keto lifestyle. I had great success the first time with 60 lb loss. Unfortunately i felt i could go back to my bad ways of eating, wrong.
Its been one month. I lost 10 pounds in two weeks then i started drinking alot of french vanilla flavored ground coffee, package says artificially flavored. No ingredients listed on package. Well from there the weight loss has absolutely stopped and actually gained 2 lbs back. I have been pretty much right on with my macros and log my food in daily.
I do a 19:5 if, carbs are under 22, protein 80 , fat about 105 and calories generally under 1500.
Has anyone one else had an issue with flavored coffee or could it be something else?

Hi Debbie!
Good evening! Try not to let your stall get you down! This can happen, and the important thing is to remember, you can always start fresh. Welcome back to low carb living!
There could be a variety of things that are contributing to your recent stall and weight gain. I truly believe you are on the right track with using a tracking system, it is integral in your journey. This will help ensure you're not overdoing the calories. Often, it is the skewed and incorrect macros that keep someone from loosing weight.
The coffee could be playing a minor role in the larger scheme of things as it relates to your weight loss. It is very unlikely the coffee itself is the direct culprit of your gain. May I ask, what else do you happen to place in your coffee? Also, are you ensuring you are increasing your daily water intake? Keeping fluids up is key to making sure you don't retain water weight and that you release the bloat associated with a keto or low carb start up after a binge.
Keep your head up and look at the make up of your daily diet piece by piece, and I am certain you will find the reason for your stall. You might just find your macros are a bit too low and off for noticeable weight loss.
Warm regards,
