Is this normal. I have been doing Keto now for 12 days. Over the first 6 days I gained 1 pound. Over the last 6 days I lost 5 pounds. Just curious if this is normal.

    Its normal if you are eating too many calories. How many calories are you eating? How much is your deficit?

    Most stories of first week on keto report a large drop in water weight due to the reduction in glycogen and associated water that it is stored with.

    Wondering if the change in diet slowed your digestive transit?

    Weight fluctuates. In 12 days, you lost 4lbs. There is no "gain".

    First week, yes, second week the opposite. That's probably what it was.
