[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just finished 2 weeks of strict Keto + IF and somehow only lost 3 lbs. I was expecting much more and am not 100% sure where I went wrong. I didn’t count carbs/macros but thought I was following the diet perfectly. Looking back, maybe I ate too many veggies that added up to to many carbs? Or too much dairy? Or not enough fat?

Here was my typical menu for the 14 days:

10am Coffee w/ 2T heavy cream

12pm Lunch - always a salad with 3 cups of greens, red cabbage, 2-3 hard boiled egg whites, 1/2 avocado and goat/feta cheese with balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dressing

2/3pm Snack - 2oz cheese or Chobani zero sugar Greek yogurt (4 net carbs) or iced coffee w/ 2T heavy cream

6pm Dinner - simple grilled protein (chicken breast, steak, burger patty on repeat) with 2-3 cups lower carb veggies sautéed in butter or olive oil (spinach, zucchini, Brussels sprouts) or sometimes caprese (tomatoes, mozzarella and basil).

If you are female and have seen success on keto can you please share what you typically eat or critique what you think I did wrong?[/quote]

Women sometimes don't lose weight (even gain weight initially) because body reconfiguration occurs, especially bone density improvements. 14 days is NOT enough time to be fat adapted. Your choices of foods may or may not be enough to even keep ketosis, depending on your body and hormones. Y[b]ou seem to have eaten a lot of greens and vegetables. You don't need those. They can add up carbs also[/b]. Even so-called "net carbs" can sometimes be incorrect, and your body may actually still process them.[/quote]

Any person or any diet that says you ate too many greens and vegetables.... run. Run far, run fast.

Seriously. The idea that this person is not hitting their weight loss goals due to overconsumption of vegetables is absurd.
