Body Fat - Help Please!

Hi, I’ve been doing Keto for the last week. I have lost 3lb but my body fat has increased by 7% to 37.9%.  Is this ok? Is it normal? Any advice greatly received! Thanks x

    Seems logical. In ketosis, you initially lose water. So your weight is dropping but your fat stays the same. So the fat percent is higher.

    This will change as you get a few weeks into keto.

  • I think ajoe could be right but how are you measuring fat percentage?  Not all scales are the best for this... Maybe try a different measurement methods or device to confirm.
