Hi I've been on keto diet for almost two months. I lost 7lbs my first week, 5lbs the next. The third week I gained about 2.5lbs and since then only been losing about 2lbs a week. I'm pretty lazy with not much exercise (trying to change that) but still losing weight. I was also pre diabetic but not anymore. I'm always hungry so now I add a lot of leafy greens to my meals, I don't eat after 7pm and before 11am and always, always track my macros on MFP.
What I'm saying is my results are not great like most people are saying here but it's still working. You might not be doing it right. Maybe higher carbs than you think you are eating or too much protein in your meals. ruled.me helped me a lot. You should look it up. They have a ton of helpful free information and a keto calculator to help you on your journey and it's called keto academy.
Give it one more try and see if it works for you.
P.s I did read on some articles not everyone loses weight on keto but don't have much info on that as I refused to be one of that statistic. Keto was my last hope so I'm hanging on for dear life! Good luck!

I think there are some really good points in here. Especially on the Macros - you could have too much protein or not enough fat in your daily eats. I would say start there - and if your not sure how many grams your mcaros should be, there are some great Keto macro calculators out there. Just google them, and you can get some pretty accurate info for your height/weight/age/activity level. Give it some more time, and remember, your body is unique to you, and its going to react differently to things. If you've been doing extremely low carb keto, I know its helped some people to go from like 5% daily carbs to 10%. Just some things to think about.

I've been on Keto for 3 weeks now and have lost 6kg. Keeping carbs under 20g.
This includes a few Gin/Vodka and slimline tonics or Diet cokes at the weekend.

I have started cycling again so this may be contributing?

My partner started at the same time and hasn't lost any weight but she is not so strict with her macros.

A weekend in London coming up so may fall of the rails but we have decided to be stricter with everything when we return.

I think ( I'm not an expert by any means ) that the macros are the key. Too much protein will slow/stop loss.

Go for a ratio of 5% carbs 70% fat and 25% protein and see how you get on.

You can change MFP to use these. ( Goals section )
