Hi! I have been doing strict Keto for ten days now. I weigh the exact same as when i started. I do feel less bloated and had a huge energy rush the first week, now i feel like its gone. Ive been hitting all my goals with my food macros. Im starting to feel a little un motivated. Is this normal not to lose anything in the beggining?

    I don't know anything about the Keto diet but I started on a new program about 3 weeks ago. Like you I remember feeling more energy at first (the first week mostly). I did loose a couple of pounds that week. The next week I did not loose any weight, but when I measured had lost a couple of inches. Week 3 I am starting to loose a little weight again. I don't know if that initial rush is just from something new or what, but don't give up. Are you also working an exercise routine or only diet?

    How are you tracking your intake? Use a food scale if you aren't already, and be patient. It's only been ten days.

    Weight loss is done by having a calorie deficit, not keto. If the keto diet helps get you there, great! If not, that's ok too.
