    The last few pounds are very difficult, especially if it's belly fat. Very stubborn. Your calories may be too low for a guy, I've heard that 1,800 is the minimum for guys. You might want to look at increasing your calories a bit but keeping the carbs down. I haven't done a lot of research on keto for guys, so double check my numbers.

  • You could try doing a prolonged fast 24-72 hours and see if it helps jumpstart it. Do you work out at all? I, myself am not an expert, but the people I know that have been doing keto for a while say that the prolonged casts can help, especially if you are keto adapted, because your body will be burning straight fat the whole time.

    Have you tried an egg fast/diet? I’ve been reading on how that helps to push through plateaus. It’s basically eggs and fats for 3-5 days. I haven’t done it yet but intend to.
