Not seeing progress
So I have not lost anything in 2 weeks. Been doing this for almost 4 weeks. This is my typical breakdown
19g carbs, 92g fat 81g protein, 1266 calories
Next day
21 g Carbs, 101g fat, 61g protein, 1242 Calories.
So my fat is at 70% of my pie chart. No cheating I have resisted every sweet treat! Anyone have any suggestions?

4 weeks? some people don't get fat adapted that fast. Also you will lose water weight first then your body readjusts to begin breaking down fat stores. If you have any health issues your body will start repairing before letting go of those fat stores, remember your body thinks that is a way to stay alive to keep you from starving. And I think that maybe you have too few calories. I have read multiple times that you should not restrict calories when starting keto, so your body sees an abundant fuel source so once fat adapted it will be safe to let go of the stored fat. I find even after being keto for over a year if I lower my calories I stall. I think the main focus should be getting healthy and the weight lose will follow but it is a process not a miracle pill. Your body maybe doing allot of things that the scale doesn't reflex.

Are you measuring? Waist, thighs, etc?
I haven't exercised hardly at all (but just started!) and lost about 25 in my first 3 weeks of ketosis. BUT then I plateaued for a month, gained a lb, lost a lb, back and forth at basically the same daily weight.
During this plateau month, though, my waist went from 36 to 34 and my chest went from 46 to 44.
SO - how are your clothes fitting? It's easy to forget, but important to remember, that losing weight shouldn't be the numero uno goal. It should be an incredibly awesome side effect of getting healthier and repairing our bodies. A lot of coaches in the keto/paleo/NSNG game, like Abel James and Vinnie T, say to throw that scale away!
I'm not ready to throw MY scale away - but as long as I am not GAINING weight I don't let that number bother me.
