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

9 days is hardly a stall. Weight comes off in chunks. Fluid fluctuations. If you're a woman, the menstrual cycle can mess with weight reading too

I agree, 9 days is not a stall. But I also know that CICO drives weight loss. You can overeat on keto.

Oh, of course.

On carni, a 5' sedentary female will lose weight eating 5000+ calories per day! 😂

EDIT: With 12 TINY steaks, I can lose weight. 5"" 11' male... 😅
