Gaining weight

 I am seriously struggling on keto. I have only been doing it for 14 days and have been in ketosis the entire time(according to urine test strips). I have also been exercising 3 times a week and successfully doing intermittent fasting. My two daily meals consist of a protein, lots of healthy fats, and a keto friendly veg. My problem is that I am consistently gaining weight. 4lbs to be exact. I am trying to take the advice to stay away from the scales but honestly I need some reassurance that I am not doing this for nothing and that there is hope for me to also enjoy the benefits of weight loss.

    arizonafun54 ARL, TW here, I need to tell you my 20 lb. Turkish Van cat has knocked my phone and Lap top off my desk so may times, that I will be typing away and the whole thing vanishes... And I have to start over completely... I am so proud of you and what I am hearing from you I am hearing you are more prepared then I was thinking,  But just in case, I want to give you some family secrets that will make your life easier...  I started Lo carbing in the '70s

    The people I got involved with  would  do the following weekly--- Eat, Drink,Play tennis than Eat, Drink and play tennis and the only way we could accomplish this was by doing Lo Carb... And some of us became experts in one part or another...

    Now I need to know which from the list you like. As many as you like plus...

    Breakfast meats- Bacon, Sausage, Ham,,pork chops, and if there are any others let me know.

    Toppings- Cheese, what ones, there is only about 100.

    mushrooms,black olives,spinach, or any others that I forgot.

    Let me know and I will give you a recipe for "Baked Eggs"that will knock you slippers off.

    Talk to you later, TW

  • I use a cheese grater to make egg salad.  Grate hard boiled eggs on the large holes, makes them very fluffy and so easy.

    I love  all meats.   And anything with eggs!!!!! 

    TW Have you done the egg diet?

    eggs, cheese, & butter?

    i haven’t tried it.  But people say it will help  you break a stale.
