I am on ketogenic diet for 15 months and I reach a plateau. any suggestions
I ate around 1400 cal per day and reached 190lbs and couldn't get down further. I am training for the last 4 month and noticed that whatever I do I am not losing more weight. It is really very frustrated when you do whatever you need to do and don't get the result. :(
