3rd week on keto but seem stalled
Hi all, newbie keto user. Been on keto for just under 3 weeks now. Weight came off fast the first week (water) but I’ve seemed to have stalled which is why I got this App. Saw a you tube video that makes me I’ve been eating incorrectly by mixing in fats when I eat carbs. I guess I should concentrate on getting fats in one sitting and carbs in another so insulin doesn’t store the fat right away? Also doing intermittent fasting but last 5 days I’ve stalled at 211 lbs, down from 223lbs. Keeping calories below 1500, but scale isn’t moving. However I feel amazing going eating on this lifestyle, and am seeing noticeable changes in body shape. Anything I’m doing wrong or am I just impatient? Drinking Lots of alkaline electrolyte water too. Trying to reach 175 but at this pace it’s gonna be a while.

I have never heard of separating macros. I have been on Keto since June and have lost 32 pounds with 18 more to go to reach goal. I eat fats, carbs, and protein together consistently. Not eating after 6 pm and fasting have been helpful tools. I also find that I need to keep my carbs really low and concentrate on eating whole foods rather than processed foods even if they are marketed as keto. Best to you!

AZ_Nan agree! Far too many processed foods labeled at ‘keto’ so it’s always a good idea to check them out before trying (love the ‘import recipe’ on the app.
Have to keep reminding folks... ‘keto junk food is still junk food.’
good luck!

HI Vese, I'm a keto newbie, but lost 50# on WW years ago. You might just need patience--12lbs in 3 weeks sounds great to me!
