Ok, I will log everything from now, and open my diary.

I workout on elliptical machine till it shows 1000 calories. I know it shoes moer, so I count it as 700. Then I do quite heavy weights. Even if I choose low value, lets say I burn 300 due to weight lifting.

So total burnt =1000 calories.

I have a very simple vegetarian diet. I have to actually push myself to eat to 2000. Some days I eat only 1700 or so.

Even if I am underestimating my eating, lets say I actually am eating 2500 when I think Im eating 2000. then minus burnt : 2500-1000 = 1000 deficit.

Even if I tak half of this 500 cal, I should still lose SOME weight !!!

But the scale doesnt budge:(

If you consume 2500 calories and only burn 1000, you are not consuming a deficit. That is unless there is something I am missing...

Just being alive takes calories too. If one "burns" 1,000 working out (which I highly, highly doubt OP is doing), you still need calories to run your body the rest of the day. Someone who is truly eating 2,500 and burning 1,000 exercising could still run at a deficit depending on their BMR.

I don't, however, think that is happening here.

for a woman, that's a lot of calories. I think it's probably time to cut back.

Eye opening video regarding the importance of weighing your food. It's really easy to underestimate the calories you are consuming.

Hi there. Guys the best thing about keto is that you dont really need to exercise. Firs i use keto with intermintent fasting (IT) and High intensity interval trainning (HIIT). One of the problems of not loosing the weigh expected might be because you are not giving your body chance to eliminate those fats and toxins. How best to do so..true urine...so my advice to you drink a lot of water.Between 3-4 liters/day... Another thing..the problem is not the intake of calories but what and how you eat.you may need to lower your carb more...remember that some people even without consuming any carbs their bodies already stores theem for couple of days...so might reduce carbs to 0 for 2-3 days and then start with 5-10% carbs 15-20% protein and 80-75% fat..make sure adds up to a 100%.if you are not strict with this and you not plan your food..you may never reach that sweet point of loosing weight like a fat burning machine...good luck !

So much wrong in such a short post.

What toxins will a keto diet release? Is a 0% carb diet really good for anyone?

But most importantly, how would your macros possibly not add up to 100%? What foods could I choose to wind up lower or higher?

I'm sorry, but you are overestimating your calorie burns. Weight lifting does not burn 300 calories in a session, and the elliptical machines WAY overestimate.

You don't just log your food, but you need to weigh it as well and ensure you are using accurate entries. Read packages and look calorie counts up on the USDA website.

Good luck.

Is it possible, that due to high level of exercise my body is used to it, and my metabolism has slowed down?

I could not explain weight gain on my keto diet eating just 1600 calories.

Not as to your question.

Type of diet has nothing to do with weight loss. Eat less calories than you burn and you will lose weight.

You might need a good nutritional cleanse...when we lose fat we need to cleanse and get rid of the toxins or the fat will come back...I take a cleanse drink at nite it help a lot now at 65lbs lost....yeah me!

This is completely, totally, and utterly untrue.

What toxins will make you gain weight without excess calories?

Solid first post

How long do you spend on the elliptical to burn 1000 calories? 3 hours?! I have to be running a 9 minute mile for an entire hour to burn 500 calories on the treadmill (per my HRM) and I know I don't work half as hard when I'm on the elliptical.


I gave up the elliptical years ago, I did have to use one recently because the power went off in my gym for over 4 hours and I was already there so I had to work out and I could only use an elliptical... It was such a worthless workout to me.

If you are not losing weight over a reasonable period of time, then it is due to one or more of the following:
1. You are eating more than you think
2. You are exercising less than you think
3. You have miscalculated your calorie allowance and set it too high
4. You have a medical condition interfering with the equation.

It is NOT due to too many carbs, not detoxing or anything else that does not fall into one of above.
1 and 2 seem most likely, 3 less likely and 4 most unlikely.
