Lost 8 lbs at least, why are my clothes not getting more loose?

Keto diet by the way. Low carbs, high fat. I have been eating max. 50g of carbs per day (total carbs, not net carbs). It's mostly around 30 something without counting carbs in the veggies.

How long has it been? Usually keto will drop that much weight in the first week or two. Its just water though. You won't get a clothing reduction that quickly. Stick it out. You will see the difference.

About a month. OK 7 lbs, i miscalculated

[electromagnetic]

Depends on the quality of fats your eating ( coconut oil, avocado) or just fats in general?

[Asker]

Fats in General. But not too much i think

[electromagnetic]

That's your answer. Your fats are basically replacing everything else that your body just reduced. Fat occupies space with less weight.

[Asker]

But the keto diet is supposed to help me burn fat, right? And the friend that recommended it to me said that it doesn't matter what kinds of fats. I asked specifically. He's lost 20+ lbs doing this and not exactly restricting himself to the healthy fats only

[electromagnetic]

I'm not sure what kind of diet that is. I've never did one before. But good fats leave the system faster than the fats your consuming.
Ask your friend again what kind of fats he had.

OK will do that tomorrow just to be sure. Thanks

8 lbs isn't really much, especially if you're tall. What's your height?

[Asker]

Around 5'4" XP

I wouldn't expect apparent difference still. Weight can change even up to 2 lbs day by day. Maybe you've just lost a lot of water weight from eating such low carbs.

[Asker]

But losing water usually makes my stomach immediately visibly smaller. Even if I'd only lost like 4 lbs. That was what happened when i did the no salt Mayo diet

[TheINTJ]

Ok, then maybe your weighing scale is broken. X)

[Asker]

Or my body is just so fucking weird and looooves the volume

[TheINTJ]

:)) Just keep it up. You'll surely see a difference eventually.

[Asker]

I hope so... It sure can't come quick enough

[TheINTJ]

Thanks. And good luck with your weight loss. X)

[Asker]

Thanks. Someone actually noticed yesterday!
