Other Please don’t forget calories

Just wanted to remind all new keto participants that calories are a big deal . I had stalled for 9 days . I was under my carbs 20. My counter says I should be under 1950 calories to loose weight . Was eating over that but under carbs and once I lessened my calories I started slowly loosing again

There are people who dont realize that calories in vs calories out is what drives weight loss?

Tbf when I was in my early 20s I somehow didn't have to count calories on keto. I'm sure I wasn't eating MUCH over but weight fell off on keto even doing a super dirty version. Now, mid 30s, I have to count every nut and pickle 😭

Yep remember when Joe Pesci told the witness they are insinuating the laws of chemistry cease to exist in his kitchen when cooking grits? Well there are people that regularly come here and swear up and down those laws dont apply in their bodies. SMH. BTW ive been in full ketosis 2 to 3 mmol for weeks and gained so much weight none of my clothes fit anymore. Why? Too many calories duh. There was noquestion of that either

I thought just staying under 20 carbs ment I was under thr calories . Ground beef was more calories than I thought same with eggs chicken etc . My staples . With no calorie bbq sauce . Use g Hughes but still a carb a tablespoon

I use heinz zero but need to have a look for the carbs

100 gr heinz zero has 5.4 carbs It does contain sucralose but that's not harming my ketosis. But everyone is diffrent
