Keto diet 1 week and no weight loss?

Doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong.
Are you eating keto for a medical reason or to lose weight?
What kind of exercise and how often are you doing it?
Also, is that *all* you're eating?

Yeah it looks quite low calorie. Do you test yourself to check if you are actually in ketosis?

Adding konjac noodles or supplement can help alleviate constipation while eating keto if you're not getting enough whole veggies.

If I eat less than 400 carbs a day, someones dead.

You are not eating enough fat for that to be a ketogenic diet. What you are doing there would be a high protein diet (unless your lean meat and veggies were covered in butter). Which is also why you would be constipated. KETO is a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet. I'd suggest doing more research. Also normally when starting keto you would do a fat fast. Look into that.

good call on the fat & additional reading :drinker:

Hi I started the keto diet I am one week in but no weight loss my diet consists of:

*2 full eggs 6 egg whites,

*35g whey protein small spoonfull of peanut butter

*170g chicken fillit

*35g whey protein small spoonfull of peanut butter

*170g chicken fillit with handfull of green beans

can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? I am 140 ponds,

if nothing else,you should have at least lost water weight on that.What were you eating the week before ? Any medical condition ?

Are you a competitive body builder? Need to lose weight in a hurry for a specific reason? Doing this diet for a medical condition? If you answered no to all of those questions, then why not form good eating habits and eat healthily and sensibly? I just don't "get" specific diets like that. Unless used for a very specific purpose, they do not seem to be something that biologically your body "wants" to do, or can do for the long term.

Just my 2 uneducated cents. Take it for what it's worth.

That does not seem like enough food to me...or enough nutrients for that matter. As far as I know (and I haven't done a ton of research on it so correct me if I am wrong) but wasn't the Keto Diet introduced to treat pediatric epilepsy? Isn't constipation one of the side effects? Therefore weight loss would not be all that pronounced?

I do understand that low carbs and higher fats and protein will put you into ketosis (like the first bit of the Atkins diet) but this seems to be just another fad diet that will give short term results. Beyond watching your calories and making sure you are getting enough nutrition I don't think we should eliminate anything from our diets, it's not healthy. Unless of course there is a medical reason for being put on a restrictive diet.

That is just my two cents.

Agree, since I was constipated for days, my body told me, hey, do not eat like that, I do not feel fine, digesting this. I think, low carb like veggies together with protein is better than no carb.

can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

a fad diet with not enough caloric intake.

this made me lol!!!

Yeah, didn't you know that people don't lose weight when they eat too little.

Nowhere near enough fat to be considered a ketogenic diet, unless you are aiming to do Dukan which will make you tired/grumpy and eventually plateau. It took me 10 days to lose anything first time round, you have to be strict until you can be sure you are in ketosis. Reccomended ratios are 5% carbs, 35% protein, 60% fat, do 20g carbs a day MAX until you are in ketosis then you can experiment with adding more in, some people get away with 50g-100g and still in ketosis. For me a limit that high allows me everything I wanted to cut out in the first place so I stick to 20g a day.

You need to up your water intake to overcome constipation and the fact that ketosis is a diruetic process, if you are drinking enough (read 3+ litres a day) you will also need to supplement your salts/electrolytes/potassium in some way i.e. by drinking a cup of broth.

There will be comments on this thread about the lack of nutrients with this diet, how detrimental it is, how no carb is a fad. Keto is not a no carb diet, at not point do you cut out veggies (unless you want to) you just limit them to smaller amounts. For 20g of carbs I can get 50g of at least 6 different vegetables. You wont eat fruit, but honestly 1 portion of broccoli has more vitamin c than you need and you wont get a insulin spike.

I used the raspberry ketones and green bean coffee extract for about 4 months. They did help but here's the the thing. It's a fat loss aid, not a miracle cure. I had to work out and eat healthy while doing it. It did help me and I would get a mega fat whoosh every 4 weeks but it took a full 4 weeks to actually take effect. I firmly believe it was a beneficial part of the weight I did lose but I didn't want to stay dependent on pills so I stopped and now I'm struggling with some ups and downs. I need to up my cardio and burn more calories. There is no easy way out. Two full eggs and 6 egg whites is way too much. at least from my standpoint.

You want to have a breakfast that is balanced and has around 300 calories. you'd probably want to have only one full egg and no more than 3 egg whites all together= 4 eggs. Then add in some fresh spinach and one piece of whole wheat toast or an oatmeal or some type of grain. add salsa (10 calories per teaspoon) for extra flavor. and diced garlic and herbs and spices never hurt either.
My personal experience with peanut butter is that it's a complete pain in the *kitten* to measure it out and like one teaspoon is 80 calories and it's fattening. Scrap it all together. Banish it. There are better ways to get protein than peanut butter. don't go for a ketone diet. It's not sustainable. You need to experiment with finding real regular every day grocery foods that you can eat and sustain your dietary needs.

Lower your protein intake to about 35% up the fat intake to about 65 to 75% and keep net carbs at under 20 grams. Drink lots of water.

Way too much protein - you want more grams of fat than protein for a ketogenic diet.

Egg whites, protein powder, chicken are all low fat high protein options.
