I hit a plateau on my traditional calorie counting diet and decided to try keto. That was 2 weeks ago and according to the test strips I’m in ketosis but have yet to see any change in my scale. I’m still keeping my calories under 1300. What am I doing wrong?

    How long has it been since you lost weight? How are you measuring your calorie intake?

    Obviously, being in ketosis and being in a calorie deficit is not the same thing. Give it a couple more weeks, then reduce your calories if your not losing.

    Thanks. I think you’re right. I’m not a patient person. It seems I did lose 2 lbs last month but my scale is off.
