Frustrated with Keto!!!
I have been on keto since January 3rd and reading all the Keto books and doing research but have only lost 18 lbs.. I have a lot to lose. I have kept my carbs to 20 or under.. I have not had any sugar I do not understand why everything has stalled. I lost the first 18 pounds in the first two weeks and that’s it. I’m thinking of giving up keto and going to a 1300 cal diet because this is so frustrating and I’m doing everything right . Does anyone have any advice ?

I have also been on it in a strict way since Thanksgiving of last year. Lost 13 lbs right away and nothing afterwards. However, I just found out that I now have diabetes which came on super suddenly. (Possibly triggered by this diet?) My numbers were fine last year when I was tested. Now I have to stay on this diet because it is really good for my glucose numbers to remain steady until I have my numbers under control. They remain at a steady somewhere between 300 - 385 throughout the day. I have not lost 1 lb since December and have been very strict since it is my life I'm talking about now, not just my weight. I only have about 15-20 lbs to lose. Frustrating and scary.

Try doing a fast. And some exercise just a walk around the block. Get moving maybe decrease your carb intake.

debbie075965f I am tracking everything and my carbs are 20 and under most days... I am at a loss and reconsidering this lifestyle... I will not go back to sugar or bread that’s for sure though.

Sandrach1 I'm not sure I'd go below 20 carbs a day. Maybe check your cholesterol and blood sugar numbers. Maybe this is more than about losing weight and maybe your numbers are better than they were before? That would be a reason to stay on it. If they're not better, then, listen to your body. Be kind to it, too!

20 net or 20 total?

psikora8219 how many calories and carbs are you eating per day.

G Less than 20 carbs and somewhere between 1000 and 1200 calories a day. Sometimes a little less and sometimes a little more.
