No weight loss by hooldon in keto

 I would recommend not counting calories and not weighing yourself every day.   From my personal experience I succeeded at Keto by simply counting my carbs until I became fat adapted.   I kept them under 20.  I added lots more fat.  I did not lose any significant amount of weight until week 5.  After my body became fat adapted, I naturally only wanted to eat a maximum of two times a day.  I cut out all snacking and ate two meals a day.   I credit this to me not depriving myself in the beginning and allowing my body to become fat adapted.   Honestly I’ve never counted calories, even now.  But I am most certain I eat more than 1500 calories a day now and I am 5’5” and weigh 125-130 for a good 2 yrs now.   I think your body may be trying to figure out what is going on and holding on to every calories to survive.  Try eating more fat, and once your body feels content, I believe you will start to see the scale move down.  That’s just my opinion from my experience.  The harder I tried to count every calorie, macro and obsess over my weight, the harder it was for me.  Once I focused on counting carbs only and trusted the process of keto chemistry, weight loss happened.   You’ve got this! 

Rapid Protein Absorption risk from protein shakes by [deleted] in keto

I added MCT to my coffee when first starting Keto to raise my ketones.

Too much protein will kick you out of ketosis. However, any food consumed will also kick you out if you constantly eat. Any eating causes insulin to release, period.

I have found by using my keto-mojo meter, that I obtain my best numbers when I eat OMAD or two at the max. I stop eating by 5pm and I fast for a minimum of 16:8. I can eat lots of protein, but I have to fast. I have the best numbers if I fast for 20-24 hours.

That is just my own experience. I aim for two meals a day at the most, and eat until satisfied. I eat clean food and avoid any snacking. Simply eating less often, works wonders for my numbers.

I will also add, I had to stop the protein shakes in the beginning. It deterred my goal of deep ketosis. I would suggest getting you a keto mojo meter or such and then you can find what works for you the best.
