    Keto is ketogenic. It's a diet that is very low carb; usually, 20 to 50g total. So maybe.

    After the initial period where you will lose more due to reductions in foods waste, glycogen and water weight, you will see the normal 1 to 2 lbs per week based on the size of your deficit.

    I've been keto since Jan 2. But only actually in ketosis for the past week or so. My cheat days would bring me out and it would take a few days to lose the extra weight. Happily shedding the extra water weight now.

    Everyone has an approach that works for them. For me, I avoid cheat days in the traditional sense (carb loading) to avoid falling out of Ketosis. I simply hate going through the Keto Flu every time. Instead, on my "cheat meal" - going out to dinner - I just increase my caloric intake of fatty foods... bigger steak, more cheese, a few more pieces of bacon, etc. Whichever route you decide to take, DO NOT "shed" water weight! Your body NEEDS even MORE water now that you are in Ketosis. Drink at minimum .5 ounces of water for every pound. For me that is 100 Oz of water each day (200 lbs). In the morning you will feel parched and lose water throughout the night, so weigh yourself in the morning.
