Why am I not losing? I want your opion!

Keto is very hard to maintain and once you come back from it it's very easy to gain the weight back. While I've fluctuation as much as 10 pounds either direction with over and under eating since Jan 1st. I'm exactly the same weigh today as I was on Jan 1st. I know why. I know i'm eating to much junk food and too much over all, and then over compensating by undereating a few days and over exercising. Which is the only reason i'm not losing. I'm not eating properly.

The only thing that works long term is to eat whole healthy foods that meet nutritional requirements, To exercise regularly and to throw in a day or two of indulgence.

I don't know what your height is, but you seem to be built similar to me. My BMR is 1604 - My average TDEE according to my body bugg is 2900 - I adjust that down 300 to account for any errors the machine has which still leaves me at 2600 and that's a ton of food. I am very very active though and often get burns closer to 4000, if I don't eat enough for those days, I feel like crap and I don't lose weight. (which I generally don't eat enough because I can't eat that much, and I'm too exhausted to try lol) I do follow my own meal plan and eat what I think is best when I am really watching my intake. (not this week though and I don't feel good because of it). But I don't follow a fad diet, which is what paleo and keto is. The only people I know who really benefit from keto are those with severe diabetes. You have to be very strict with those and with paleo you pretty much have to work out or it doesn't work.

I know you are going to do what you want, we all do. But if you're hungry. You need to eat more lower calorie healthy food. If you're not losing weight, you need to cut back on high calorie, carb/sugar heavy and/or alcohol. Or switch beer for ciroc and soda water with a twist.

Healthy living and weight loss is quite an interesting journey.

I had phenomenal success with Paleo for my first 50 or so pounds.

Then I stopped losing, not necessarily gaining.

It was around the time I dropped from obesity level to overweight level.

So, I got influenced by other people's success and decided to try the TDEE.

I was also in love with the idea of eating whatever I wanted as long as it was in my calorie goal and still losing weight.

I'm sure it works like a charm for some, but it didn't work for me.

I'm going back to a more dedicated/strict Paleo/Keto.

I'm thinking now in hindsight is that the reason I stopped losing on Paleo is from eating a very high carb Paleo diet and cheating a lot.

I will certainly keep you all up to date on my progress.

Yep, with one week on TDEE I lost nothing and gained so much weight I was 1lb away from obesity again. No way!

No way in hell! Not happening!

I stopped when I had gained up to 189, because anything over 190 and I'm obese BMI again.

I'm not going back to obesity.

No way! I've come way too far to go back.

Not for an experiment. Not for anything!

Never!

Well, to be fair, it didn't work for you because you didn't do it. You apparently never spent any significant time reaching your calorie goal.

Good luck in whatever method you use to control your calorie intake, be it Paleo or whatever.

Oh, wait. One week.
