    Ok so I have done everything I can to try and do this properly . Still no change. Only traces of ketones if at all most of the time. Just can't seems to do it ? Is it stress ? It's the only thing left I haven't tried unless my diet STILL isn't right. Happy for anyone to see my diary . I've been on this diet now for about 6weeks . Usually when I "diet" I would've lost about 5kg by now at least . I'm just at my wits end .

    I looked through your diary. I don't see that you tried a simple water fast yet. That forces your body to live on fat. Try it, you'll like it... Stop eating for one day. Eat soft foods the day before. Don't gorge yourself on the day when you break the fast. Start the fast, and if you just can't do a whole day, then eat just one time that day, with no snacks or otherwise before or after that ONE meal. But, you may feel pretty good and (its not as hard as you think it is) and just hold out and make it to the next day.

    I hope this helps,

    If you slip out of Ketosis you gain 5-10 pounds in water weight...(Thats same water weight you initially lost in the begining) Sometimes our bodies take a break from weight loss to work on other things that need working on. just be patient, keto on, and try not to stress about the number on the scale, rejoice in the way you feel and the way your clothes fit

    ok im going to try it. I have done fasts before and tend to put it back on again right after, and i dont eat massive meals anyway. I did a fast once for 13 days where it was just vegetable juices like spinach and cucumber and emon, kinda gross but it was the healthest i ever felt and i lost 8 kg , which i kept off until i was injured. but obviously thats not one in this diet.

    Are you supplementing for electrolytes? You need more potassium and magnesium. Easiest way to do this is with an chelated magnesium supplement and Lite Salt for potassium. This is really important.
