Please Don’t roll your eyes 👀.

I don't know an eye rolling emoji, so you're good!

How much is "not losing too much "?

Have you logged everything every day?

How are you measuring your portions? Food scale?

Have you pulled up your macros to see how much fat and protein you need. I'm supposed to have something like 129. I have a hard time getting there.

i have been doing keto for just over four weeks now. just keep going sometimes i wont loose weight for a week and then have a drop. Make sure you are drinking enough water and keep logging scanning and weighing all portions. like the other poster said it is mainly about your calories but i find it helps keep my cravings at bay. i do not always hit my fats but as long as my calories are on target and my carbs are under control i dont worry to much but I am no expert! i think loosing 8 lbs is amazing! i know some people have far greater losses but do not compare yourself to anyone you are doing incredible keep going!

Wait.

You've lost 8 pounds - most of that will be water weight anyway. With about 30 to go, set your goals to "Lose 1 pound per week." At your weight, height and age you will be given more than 1300 calories, I can tell you that.

You are undereating already and looking for ways to eat even less? The whole thing about Keto is high fat. If that isn't working, maybe Keto isn't for you.

Do you work or do other daily activities like school or caring for kids? Because it sounds like you set your Activity Level at "Sedentary" - which is also a very low calorie allotment.

I know that wasn't your concern, but if you can't even eat 1300 (which is too low for a 5'8"/174lb. woman) then why continue on Keto? Carbs are easy-to-eat calories. If you don't need to cut them and if the fats are difficult for you, why do it?

Are you doing this under doctors' supervision or by prescription? Have you done your research so you'll be prepared nutritionally?

No, the whole thing about Keto is very low carbs. You can eat high fat if it helps you stay full longer, but there is absolutely no need to stuff yourself with extra fat.

Here are some general rules to make Keto easier and doable:
Carbs -> are a hard limit, do not go over this amount in grams
Protein -> this is a minimum, always eat at least this much in grams (it is fine to go over this amount)
Fat -> use as a filler to keep yourself from getting hungry between meals, you do NOT need to eat all your fat if you are trying to lose weight (let your body use the fat stores it already has for fuel).

Of course it's low carb, but it's also moderate protein and high fat.

She was complaining about not liking to eat the fat. I mean we run out of choices pretty fast if carbs are set so low. The fat is also a calorie-filler. Are you suggesting to not eat the fat and go way under calories? Because getting enough calories is important.
