Because it looks like cheating. I mean I am full, I eat so tasty and full comfort food... Which normally gets you fat, because it has a lot of fat...

I na 3rd day and I worry I won't. So tasty scrambled eggs, then salad with smoked salmon, dessert with whipped cream, then tastiest butter chicken I ever had... What is the catch?

I mean this as funny thread, I have books about it, read a lot, I have all dishes nicely made in meal plans with macros and all. I am just amazed :D

I need to know more about supplements though. What should I know as a beginner.

EDIT: Thank you all for answers, I am so amazed by such warm welcome. I take all advice to my heart!!!

I’ve finally bought into the hype around protein.
I’ve finally bought into the hype around protein.

For so long I’ve heard people rave about getting enough protein in and how you’ll feel full longer. Id be happy just having pasta and sauce for dinner. Started keto a month ago and although some of it is the effects of keto, the amount of protein im consuming has really helped me stay fuller longer. I had some pizza a week ago because I had no other choice and was absolutely starving before bed. I couldn’t believe it.


Scale not budging
Scale not budging

Ive been fasting for minimum of 18 hours (sometimes 22-23) hours and been strictly keto. I haven’t had any cheat days and yet the scale isnt budging for weeks. Im getting desperate and really discouraged as nothing seems to be working and I don’t know what more to do. I can’t workout atm due to a knee injury but this is insane. Calories are very restricted , im being super careful with food, everything consumed is whole foods (veggies, eggs, meat, cheese) and yet nothing. Please help!
