5 Reasons Why You Are Not Losing Weight On The Keto Diet

Welcome to another one of my Keto 101 videos. This is where I take you by the hand, step by step, through your Keto journey. I get a lot of personal messages on Instagram from people who are not losing weight on Keto or are struggling with figuring things out. In a lot of cases I find that it’s just ignorance that is the basic cause for most problems people encounter.

There are loads of snacks (like cheese cubes, bacon, beef jerky, etc.) you can take with to wherever you are going. If you haven't thought ahead what to eat in a restaurant, you may be tempted to order your favorite burger or dessert. Thankfully, it's pretty easy to find fatty foods from restaurants. You can also easily swap carbs for leafy greens and call it a day.

They don’t just all come off at once. That would be terrifying! Once the weight does start coming off you won’t notice right away. When you do notice depends on a lot of factors: your starting weight, your frame, your height, etc. Also, where you lose your weight is contingent open the order in which it was gained. Hey, dry those beefy tears! You will lose weight so long as you stick to the plan; when you lose the weight is just different for every person. 6. You’re not getting enough sleep.

8. You’re too focused on weight loss. You’re going to make things needlessly difficult for yourself if you’re only working out to lose weight. Losing weight is hard! All of the advice I’ve offered here makes your diet better, but, more importantly, it makes your life better. And if you’re only doing a diet that’s making you miserable because you’re always falling short of unreasonable expectations then you need to step back and reevaluate your priorities. You don’t want to achieve your weight loss goals in a stressful ways and then always be stressed about losing what you’ve accomplished. Instead, think of weight loss as just another benefit of the healthy lifestyle you’ve created with the help of the keto diet.

While not achieving this low level doesn’t mean weight loss can’t occur, it does mean that the diet may not work as it should. It is also easy to underestimate the number of carbs (and associated calories) in food. For instance, it is not just bread, pasta, and rice that are rich in carbohydrates, but also foods like nuts, root vegetables, and fruit.

Keep in mind that honey, coconut sugar and raw cane sugar are just as bad as regular sugars. They are high in calories and prevent your body from going into ketosis. This is why some people on a ketogenic diet are still not able to lose weight. Disclaimer: This content including advice provides generic information only.

Let's get one thing clear. One will gain fat thanks to excessive calories. Fat is the foundation of the keto diet. It's vital, to succeed with the ketogenic diet, that your menu consists at least 70% of fats. Without fats, you will not get your body into ketosis and your body will not convert into the fat burning state. That is why it's important to roughly keep track on what you eat and how much, so you can adjust accordingly your macronutrients intake.

Here are 6 possible reasons you're not losing weight on keto. On the keto diet, you’re slashing carbs and increasing fats, which are pretty calorie dense. When you think about the number of calories per gram, it’s 9 calories per gram of fat versus 4 calories per gram of carbs. So, while you’re lowering carb count, you’re probably boosting the calorie count in your diet.

You can eat so-called "keto friendly foods" and still not lose weight. For example handful of nuts can consist of 200-300 calories, which will easily add up. You definitely don't have to go crazy with counting every calorie in your diet, but you should at least in the start keep track what you eat and how much and adjust accordingly.

On this plan, less is not more. You need to eat adequate calories to provide your body with enough fuel. If you live on 1,200 calories, you are not going to lose weight. No carbs and 1,200 calories will make your body feel that it’s in starvation mode, and it will hold onto the fat. The goal is to have under 20 grams of carbs per day. While that sounds easy in theory, even healthy fruits and vegetables are loaded with sugars. Forget having any sweet or regular potatoes.
