How do you deal with them when doing a LCHF diet?

I treat them with the utter contempt they deserve and carry on regardless.

If you want to lose weight, consider 'kick-starting' your weight loss by going on a fast.

I plateau'ed for around 4 weeks.
"Damn!" I thought, "Who's at the helm of this thing? Oh, that's right - that would be me!" So, if I don't like something - I can change it.

Look closely at what you're doing, and decide if you can tweak somehting.

This is of course, under the presumption that you're on this for weight-loss.

If not, some of the above could still apply....

(Oh, and just to help, not criticise, I personally don't view LCHF/P as a 'diet'.
This for me is the way it's always going to be. THis is my way of eating - WoE. My Way of Life - WoL.

In much the same way as vegetarianism or veganism is a 'diet' so is this diet. Daily Intake Every Time.)

Also a reminder that just because the scale is not showing anything, your measurements could be. Plus the body needs time every once in a while to work on healing unhealthy metabolic processes and that doesn't always show in the scale weight. Possible (wonderful) side effects could be clearer skin, more energy, less joint pain, better digestion, brain fog lifting, yada,yada,yada .

Egg Fast broke my plateau. If you can handle eating eggs for 3-5 days then check it out.

Think mine lasted 10-12 weeks Got the big woosh from doing the Egg Fast though.

^^^^ this...measure yourself, you are usually not plateauing, it's that darn scale the seems to think you are but you are still shrinking. Fat takes up more volume than muscle at the same weight. Keto is meant to preserve muscle so that is what your body is doing. Even when I'm not losing on the scale, I'm always losing on the measuring tape.

got the scales moving again, no woosh but i am not to sure if its due to hitting keto level carbs again.. feels like the only time the scale is consistently moving is at keto level low carbs, good idea on the photos will start taking timely photos to check before vs after plateau to see if theres any changes in body composition.

Hi just keep going I've not lost a great deal this month but dropped 3lb this week. But I feel so much thinner even friends in the gym noticed this morning. Don't get too bothered about the scales

When I hit an extended plateau that isn't something diet related I just understand all the exercise I am doing is building muscle in place of the fat I used to have. I recently went to the fourth hole on my belt and I am swimming in clothes that used to fit snug...time for some new clothes. Although I did try on some old jeans this weekend and they fit (Yay!) and then I noticed they were painfully out of style... They are headed to Goodwill soon.
