I would like your input as this is so frustrating
Don't give up.
You're doing something wrong!! You must not be following the keto diet strictly. You are probably unware of hidden carbs in your foods or may possibly be cheating. You must be strict and count your carbs down to the grams.
Also, you may be taking in way too much fat calories in a day and not burning off the excess.
Don't quit and all d best!!!!
Lots if things newbies do that sabotage their progress. Like eat too much protein (keep it around 0.5 gram per pound lean weight mass), or nibble on snacks between meals, or eating late at night before bed, or eating wrong type of fat (like vegetable oil), or eating restaurant food (who the heck knows what's in there), or eating processed junk (Atkins bars are NOT a food), and so on and so on.
If you join this site as a member (only something like 9$ per months...stupid cheap), you will have access to experts, where there you type in your questions, and they answer you directly. The drll down to your problem is done quickly. And there is also a one week or two week challenge (cannot remember exact time range) where a complete list of food/meals is provided. This helps you with learning the roles.
Don't give up. Failure only teaches us the limits of our knowledge. This should incentivize you to push the frontiers of your knowledge. Imagine how great you will feel when you achieve your goal!
By the way....I have a hunch this extra bit of advice will help you. Did you ever watch the "Butter Bob" videos on youtube? I think he also has a website called something like "Butter makes your pants fall off"....check it out...google it and enjoy! :-)
Do not give up. I know it may be difficult but cut out all carbs. Eat as much as you'd like and keep it to 20% protein and 80% fat. Unfortunately your doctor is living in the past. It is now known that sugar and NOT fat is harmful to your heart. I have been in a Keto lifestyle for 5 years and have never been healthier or leaner.
You have got a lot of good advice above! :)
We really believe that this way of eating works for most people!
But if you followed our diet strictly during four months and have been using most of our best tips:
https://www.dietdoctor.com/how-to-lose-weight
Then...
Nothing works for everyone... and it could be a good idea to try something else.
Why would you do that? Where on this site
would you find this recipe for failure? LCHF
is not a calorie restrictive way of eating. It
may be counter intuitive, but you must
consume enough energy so your body won't
think it is starving and respond by sequestering
the energy (fat) is has. Eat more fat, not carbs.
It appears that your understanding of LCHF
is lacking.
"Good things come to those who wait"....Good Luck.
