Pleasantly shocked: I lost 16.6kg (36.5 pounds) in my first week on keto diet

15-20 in one week, even the first week, is QUITE unusual. 5-10 in the first two weeks is something that happens frequently as the water weight is shed, but not more than that (barring VLCD, possibly).2

15-20 lbs is not unusual in the first week and its no secret!
all together: you simply dont know how it works, so therefore - even if it is not true - ashame yourself by telling to buy a new cell...

But rest assured when staying 7,500 below your TDEE the loss will not be limited to fat.15-20 lbs is not unusual in the first week and its no secret!
Sadly we are not talking about ~ 20 lbs, but about ~ 37 lbs, which, at least in the reality-system I was born and raised in, only is possible with surgery. If you are not a blue whale, that is.all together: you simply dont know how it works, so therefore - even if it is not true - ashame yourself by telling to buy a new cell...
And trust me, if I catch someone trying to sell me an outright lie, suggesting to get a new scale is among the mildest options I have. And if only because it leaves a small chance that the OP actually believes what was written.

Secret boards on pinterest for hot clothes. Heck ya! Stealing that idea!
Lymphatic massage. This is actually healthy and there are professionals who get paid to do it for you (but you can learn how yourself). Good reminder to learn how.
Cold wash at the end of hot shower. Sounds fun? (Actually it does because it's been high 90's-100 in my neck of the woods). I think this may have some health benefits because the Scandinavians do it, right? Hot sauna, then jump in the icy lake.
Best idea OP posted - get up and get dressed in workout clothes, have herbal tea, write positive thoughts in journal and go for a walk.
Regardless of the actual weight loss, OP is making a lifestyle change and seeing positive benefits. Just wanted to give her some props! Keep going, but if you continue to see such a huge weight loss in a short amount of time that might warrant a doctor visit.
Thank you so much, I appreciate you seeing this RaeBeeBaby!

Essentially he was all like, "Blah blah blah, you suck. Keto is powerful magic you don't understand."
And then I was like "Blah blah blah, you're dumb in every language."15 -
I've been eating Keto for 3 years now and have done a lot of research over that time. Headaches are normal as your body learns to burn stored fat instead of eaten carbs and your electrolytes need to be evened out (usually an indication to me that I need more salt).
Although I have NEVER heard of someone losing that much weight in one week (unless they were dead....) and your magical one week is HIGHLY unsustainable, I wish you well on your journey. Hopefully this is your miracle way of life.1 -
I think the answer is obvious; there's a magical weight loss Leprechaun that accompanies her on her morning walks who consumes her "water weight" and Chinese pixies that add special supplements to her daily herbal tea. The Leprechaun escaped from the guys who run all the "Trainers hate him" sites, and the pixies used to work for Extenze.4

I had headaches the first 3 or 4 days. But healing reactions are common. Traditional Chinese medicin teaches them. When people begin to heal they have sick type of symptoms as the toxins release. It's not a bad thing and it's not permanent.
I did not try to "understand" anything that you did not write yourself.
As previously ask: What toxins? And also, you conveniently ignored that I referred to headaches AND sleeping 2-3 hours. 2-3 hours are not a "healthy midday nap". It is a sign of an exhausted body.
You don't understand that I have been through this myself, eating way too little and ignoring the early signs. Going through an intermediate phase of being fine and then... crashing. Not as badly as I could have, but badly enough to wake me up. And I was not even on half of the deficit that you must have.akagoldengirl wrote: »I'm definitely not malnourished..

Your body really wants to release that fat, so it comes of quick.

Can you clarify the part about the shoes? I think I have been doing it all wrong this whole time... see I wear my shoes when I make tea/coffee, but then I take them off to go up and down the stairs. Oh man, thank goodness I saw this thread just in time!2

My money's on pishtaco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pishtaco
In all seriousness, that rate of weight loss is questionable, at best, and certainly not sustainable. I hope you're prepared for the long haul.0 -
I believe that you probably lost a great amount of weight, but 36 pounds in a week seems like WAY too much unless you were miscalculating what you ate, and subsequently ended up under eating..0

Interesting, even complete fasting, wouldn't result in a 36.5 lbs loss in week.1 -

This is the only explanation!
In spite of the fact that I have been accused of *being* a pishtaco, I am not totally clear on how it works...pretty sure you don't come out of it alive though!0 -
For S&G, I did the math on this. 257, 5'2", F, 25yo ( assumed 25 and F).
TDEE is 2,237 x 7 = 15,659
Eaten ((average between 1093 and 1440) x7) = 8,865.5
To lose 36.5 lbs (x 3,500) = 127,750
127,750 minus CICO (15,659 - 8,865.5) = 6,793.5
So you must have walked 120,956.5 calories off.... or 1,209.57 miles this week, 172.78/day or 7 MARATHONS A DAY.

Something also dawned on me just now: While you used two scales to measure your current weight (which okay, adds significance) you did not do the same for the starting weight. That measurement might have been the wrong one in the first place. As in, too high. That happens. Sometimes my scale has a bad day, too.3
