I am getting so discouraged! With only a few missteps, I have been at this since May 7 and still only lost 13 pounds. I think there are 2 things in my way today; 1) I just started my cycle for the first time in 4 months (I'm peri-menopausal, so all the women on here age 50 and up will understand :-)); 2) I am seeing my husband's family today, who I love, but one was on the same program as I am and in 4 months lost 40 pounds, the other is on the same program and since January has lost 88 pounds. I am so happy for them, but obviously I am doing something wrong. And their ages are right in the same ball park as mine.
I hope to find out some helpful hints today. Basically, I know what I have to do (I hope). From what my health coach says, I need to keep calories at 1200 and keep net carbs at or under 20. This week, I have been close to this (1200-1400 calories and 18-33 carbs), but with all the extra bloating no weight loss is showing.
Well, I just need to keep on keeping on, same advice I give to others :-) Just needed to vent.
Thank you all for "listening".

I think you posted earlier on this topic and I mentioned that you should totally cut out those artificial treat bars. I don't know if you test in ketosis, you did not mention it. It is very important to balance you macro's. If you have a keto coach then I am sure they have told you this. If you are not in ketosis, then absolutely no questionable carbs. eat leafy greens, broccoli cauliflower etc. zuchinni tuna and salmon boats are a great lower calorie balanced meal. make sure you use a mayo like dukes which uses no sugar. A few basic's if you have not been told this,,,,, too high protein will throw you out of ketosis, too high net carbs will throw you out of ketosis, these are two biggies. some people are not able to have artificial sweeteners. Or only certain ones. If you do not have a food scale, get one and weigh everything you eat. Log it. You have are not losing weight and you have to realize that something is off in how you are doing this. I don't know your activity level to know if you warrant eating so high protein on some days. you are probably in the 60 to 70 grams daily. only you can do your keto calculator to get those figures. but women need at least 58 to 60 minimum by federal guidelines and they are terribly outdate. I don't know why your coach is not telling you these basics. It can be pretty darn strict the first 2 weeks to month until you are totally fat adapted. Believe me I have been where you are, I wasted a year doing the diet wrong, too high protein, too high in my calories and never got into ketosis. when you do this correctly you will be in ketosis it takes 3 to 4 days of following the diet correctly. weigh food, balance your macros correctly read labels with a magnifying glass. there is hidden added sugar everywhere. Try to stick to natural foods, things you prepare without someone else removing the good qualities of the food or putting additives in that you really don't need. Start over and start fresh, plan your food ahead of time. if you plan your dinner you can adjust the rest of the day to fit
