Are you eating enough fat throughout the day as well as tracking your calories? I notice when I don't get enough fat or calories in, I don't see as much (if any) of a loss, sometimes even a slight gain. Also make sure you are still getting nutrients in your diet. I don't know what your diet looks like but aim to fit in more veggies & nuts. Dont go over board, but I get a good amount of my carbs from those locations, rather than processed food like atkins bars (which I am guilty of eating sometimes too). Just sharing my thoughts and what works for me, this may not work for you but its worth a shot! Good luck!

If you are not taking in enough calories your body could be freaking out and going into starvation mode. Human beings went through extended periods of famine throughout history and sometimes our bodies hold onto calories because it thinks we are in a famine.

have you checked ruled.me.com? I found tons of great websites devoted to keto and collected them on a pinterest page, but, of all the sites I browsed, Ruled.me.com was the best. It has a calculator to give you your precise % of carbs, fats, and proteins to make you lose weight! You plug in your age, weight, height, whether you're sedentary or active, etc, and it'll give you calculated numbers to MAINTAIN your current weight, gain weight, or LOSE weight. You're able to play around with the calorie intake, etc, and when you're happy with the numbers (calories per day, etc), you have the exact % of carbs, fats, & proteins for YOUR body. Plug those numbers into MFP (where you set your goals, etc) and then you have the exact number of grams of each you're allowed to eat per day. Easy as can be!! I've lost 30 pounds! (have a lot more to go, but am ecstatic with the results!) good luck!!! PS as much as I hate it, I found that forcing water intake all day really makes a big difference, too! I've never been a big water drinker, so this is probably the most annoying part of going keto to me. But, when I realized what a difference it makes, I try harder.

I just looked up some into on making your body a more efficient fat burner. If you mostly do stretches, strength/muscle building, and/or low-impact exercises you may just need a small boost in amino acids to charge up the muscle to burn more fat. You can get BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) at several different stores that sell supplements, but get the ones with L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine. Those are the must haves to get your body doing what you want it to.

Not sure how much weight you are losing - but it is likely that it is made up of some fat and some muscle.

Figures just for ease of maths (I'm not sure your weight etc). But, say you initially weighed 200lb with 41.6% fat. That means you were initiall 83lb of fat and 117lb of other weight (muscle and bone etc)

Now say today you weigh 180lb with 39.9% fat. You are now 71.8lb fat and 108.2lbs of other weight.

So you have lost 20lb in weight.
11.2lb of that is fat (just over half)
8.8lb of that is other wieght - probably muscle.

The answer isn't trying to lose more fat, but trying to lose less muscle. And the easiest way to do this in my view is some kind of strength programme. It could be as simple of body weight workouts (squats, lunges, press ups), it could be a home dumbell routine that gets progressively heavier, or it could be all out heavy lifting at a gym.

It will preserve and build muscle, bring your fat % down - and making you look slimmer and toned. It wont build you up because a) womens homones maje that almost impossible and b) you are eating at a deficit.

Hope that makes sense and helps

Hi prettydreamy - are you measuring fat loss percentage? I'm sure it will even out, beginner muscle gain is tempoary, you soon have to work really hard to build muscle! (Unfortunately!!) What sort of strength training arre you doing?
