I don't know what to say.. I've been hitting all my targets and macros and micros.. Working hard in the hot sun. hydrating, topping up electrolytes, even fasting. And I've barely lost two pounds since late November. Frustrated.




I've tried eating more... eating less.. different times of day. Heck for the first 3 days of this week I only ate 1000cal.. sigh..

This is the most frustrating part, and I am going through it too right now, but there's a couple things...change is good for a plateau, and patience as weightloss isn't linear. Have you been taking measurements? Just because you're not losing weight, you might still be going through body recomposition (gaining muscle, losing fat so weight may be staying relatively the same but your body changing nonetheless)....and also, for some reason when you lose fat, your body tends to fill the empty fat cells with water as a placeholder because it's sure that you will refill them with fat....and then one day...whoosh and you lose that water weight too and have a big drop...but the big take a way is stay the course, it will catch up.

Also, if you're still doing keto, try lowering your protein for a bit...sometimes you can still eat too much protein, even if you are trying to gain muscle...there's some research out there that suggests that beyond .82 grams per pound of lean mass, extra protein doesn't really do much for you and it just gets wasted...and my own experience tends to support this...

I've been losing and gaining the same couple of pounds for about a month now, and I've decided not to worry about it, and I'm changing my exercise routine and focusing on gaining muscle, which in turn burns more fat so I will eventually burn through more of my fat because my body needs and and bust through my plateau.

Hang in there!!

Happy Sunday Slimsons and Welcome to Week 3!

Keep working towards your goals!!Don't give up because it gets harder or you feel like you're not making progress. One good choice will get you one step closer to your goals so just take it one step at a time and the results WILL come!

@jennfalzon1979 & @AB0215 Thanks for the supportive words. I've taken a good look at my eating patterns and it's true I have become a bit lazy lately. Eating more "easy" processed food and less home made meals. So I've spent some time in the kitchen doing a catchup and cooking some good meals for the week to come. Sure I've been meeting my macro targets.. But I couldn't say I was eating clean as such.

AB, I've tried both more protein and less protein. And I'm getting different advice from every direction lol.. So I ran the numbers to try to tailor an answer best suited to my body and situation. Going on a lean body mass of 70kg or 154.3Ll multiplied by a range of .8-1g per lb. gives me an ideal range of 123.44g to 154.3g per day. And I'm only just in range working with a 30% goal. There are so many factors to consider, but surely I'm in the ballpark. I've started think keto might be too sharp a knife edge to try to balance on lol. Here's my macro breakdown for the last couple of weeks.


Anyway, trying to be patient.. But sadly I'm running out of time and missing out on opportunities. So I sure hope I have a breakthrough soon. Going to do a bigger fast this week than I've tried before.. See if I can't stimulate some change.

Sorry I'm not so active in the group. I am fully committed to this process and I read many of your comments, I just find the less time I spend on my computer the better. I appreciate the support you all give each other though and I hope to be more active in here eventually. My personal report for the week:

I started going back to the gym on a regular basis. I was a little worried working out on a "Keto burn" rather than my previous high carb fueled ones (back when I was a gym rat). Also, it had been a while since I'd done a full one hour workout. The ones I've done since being on Keto were usually just a half an hour bike ride, or light jog, or walk here and there. To my great surprise, my return to the gym was a lot less painful than my previous attempts to return. I actually feel great. High energy. Full focus. I FEEL fueled. I'm not saying that Keto is for everyone but at this point, I have never felt better on a "diet" in my life. Even back when I was running half marathons, I felt great on high carb...but I really only ran so I could eat more. Now food is really not even on my mind as much anymore.
