Issues getting enough fat

Hi Leeann, why don’t you share what your average day of meals is like. That way we can get an overview of where you are currently getting your fats from.

I’m also having a similar experience, where I lost consistently at first and now 4 weeks in I’m stalled +/- 2 lbs over and over and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong either 

I’m new too. I have been using heavy cream in coffee but was going over on fat and cals so I may switch to half and half. I also got some dark choc at Walmart. I only have one large square once in awhile but that is about 5.5g fat. Or butter/oil cooking fish.  Avocado. Slice of cheddar cheese. Mayo in egg or tuna salad. I have no issue finding the fat. :) It just sucks because it uses up a lot of calories. That’s why I went seeking this app cuz I was not tracking well at all! But now that I am closing in on a week my cravings are somewhat under control.  Good luck!

Its ok! You will get the hang of it! I lost 7lbs just like that and then stalled a while. For me personally fasting has helped tremendously. I eat one totally awesome dinner every day. You will lose alot of water weight at first, then maybe not so much or go back up. I go weeks without weight loss too and then i will lose a few lbs. It will slow down the more you lose, but dont get discouraged! I have lost 62lbs since jan. It took a couple of weeks for my body to get used to eating one meal, but i am totally loving it now! And i dont obsess anymore. When there are days i want a snack, i eat a snack. If i am going out of town, i may go out to eat and (gasp) i cheat! I dont feel guilty about it either! The key is the majority of the time i stick with my eating routine because i actually like it. Sure i may have been a little thinner if i was monitoring everything i ate, but i know i wouldnt have stuck with it as long as i have. I will say, IT IS important to count and monitor your carbs at first until you learn what you can and cant have and the amounts you can have

Thank you for the encouragement and advice! 

Had same problem at first,  the fats started to escape me as the protein climbed.  Now I really make sure I log every little thing.  

Avocado,  coconut oil,  peanut butter,  and peanuts quickly help the good fats.  Now when my fat count is low,  in the evening I can have a cup of tea or coffee with a tablespoon of coconut oil,  or a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter.  Things like that. 

What really worked for me was to NOT regulate my macros to drastically late at night before bed.. At least 1.5 hrs. 

I've learned to calculate earlier in the day by experimenting different foods and how things would change my daily log. 

As time goes on you get a handle and you will know what is good for you. 

Please don't get frustrated by the scale...  It can stay or vary slightly up and down for 2 weeks and your are still in ketosis..  Especially women.  It starts coming off again. Always.

60 to go. 

I actually do Keto a bit differently. I do higher protein and moderate fat with under 20 carbs daily. My macros for my height is 1232 calories, 120g protein, 75 g fat & 20g carbs. Maybe to restrict calories a bit more and see if this helps.

Try fat bombs!

Fat bombs! Sweet or Savory! Also, I rely on avocados or cream cheese as quick go-to options to give a satiating fat boost either with lunch or mid-afternoon.
