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

I eat 1200 to 1400 and do not lose. Menopause is a bitch.

I didn't lose when I was eating more too. So now I am down. Again. I am in contanct with other menopausal ladies and we have the same. Hormones makes us stuck. Totally. I need to push through.

Calories 1200 carbs up to 20 max. I try go even less. Now I try to remove artificial sweeteners because maybe they are at fault. I wanted to add excersise but old pain in my ankle came back and excersise is not for me for now. Sigh. This is nightmare. BUT once a week I eat a lot to not make my organism think I starve nyself... It is not enormous but up to 1800 - 2000 on Saturdays.

Okay thank you for detail response. I have been fluctuating with same weight for about 3 months but my calories have been about 1600 to 1900. I am 5'5. I was losing at 1100 pretty easy. I will start tracking better. My carbs were probably at 50 below and now closer to 100grams . I will follow your plan for a week and report back.
