On the ketogenic diet you do not count calories. You use carbs, protein and fat as your macros. That's it. Nothing else. So calories have nothing to do with it on the Keto diet which is what it was designed for use with.
Hate to tell you but carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram, and fat is 9 calories per gram. Repeating "I'm doing keto" a million times every day will not change this.
I would suggest tracking everything you put in you mouth, including your bulletproof mocha if you want to achieve your weight loss goals.
I am but not by the calories. I think I am doing something right because I've already lost 6 lbs. I appreciate your suggestion though.
Eating low carb will mean your body drops a lot of water. It's not fat.7 -

Honestly did you all come here to argue with people. I thought this was supposed to be a positive and supportive community.5

I am not being what could fairly be construed as negative or unsupportive in any way.
In truly healthy communities, people argue to hash out what the facts are/clear up miscommunications etc. It is a deeply rotten and toxic community where one can reasonably expect their statements to go unchallenged.9 -

So initially 50 lbs is not technically any fat loss? Is that what you are saying? I know a lot of people who lost weight on low carb & that is now their lifestyle. They lost a lot of weight.2 -

Your initial large loss is predominantly water.
The people who lost weight on low carb lost weight because of their calorie deficit, not because they avoided carbs.7 -

That is not what he is saying. Most of the initial weight loss on a low carb diet will be water. Obviously that whole 50lbs is not all initial loss.
Lots of people have lost weight on every given diet. Any diet works if a calorie deficit is in place.4 -

The first time I went on a keto diet I did the exact same thing. And yes, I did lose a fair amount of weight. However after a while I plateaued which is probably because my weight dropped to the point where my maintenance calories coincided with what I was eating. Since going back on keto I've been careful to go with a daily deficit and I've seen a much more consistent weight loss.

Can you kindly explain what you mean as a deficit? I'm intrigued. Thank you0 -

Also, I believe as your weight drops you need to adjust your macros (decrease). No?1 -

Eating less calories than your body requires.2 -

A deficit is when you consume less calories than you expend.
If you are on low carb, and not in a calorie deficit, you will either maintain or gain weight (excluding the reduction in water retention caused by low carb).
If you are on high carb, and in a calorie deficit, you will lose weight.4
