Quest bars stall weight loss ? Strips say mod ketones

Debbiedebbiey

so not sure why I haven't lost anuything this week, it's the end of my 3rd week. I know I didn't eat enough yesterday but seems like scale moves when I'm closer to 1200vs1400or1500. Carbs been low but having quest bar everyday. Drinking a gallon of water/day.

Have you been eating those bars all along? I've never eaten Quest bars but I know that Atkins, Special K, and Fiber One cause me to bloat and retain water. Could that be it maybe?

Much of the carbs in the quest bars are insoluble so they won't affect your ketones. Unless you are knocking 5 or 6 back! I have ate one or two from time to time but broken it in half. The gallon of water may be it but you should be using the bathroom frequently right? Have you weighed yourself before and after exercise to see how much water you've lost? It really could be water weight. Those bars are amazing btw.

I've seen plenty of complaints about quest bars, from the sugar alcohols causing stalls in some people to sugar spikes in others. Stop using them for a few weeks, and see if it helps. Keep in mind, too, you're most likely going to retain water at least once a month no matter what you do.
