I often eat 60 carbs total but my net carbs are always less than 30 and closer to 20.

Hi all, okay, I love fat, naturally.
But one time I did the fat fast and lost ZERO pounds.
Do you think that this diet will work for me?
I lost over 100lbs on low carb years ago.
Maintained, maintained, like...tick....tick...tick....boom and now I'm sooooo phat again.
How is it when I don't care at all, I don't really gain that bad.
I mean, I prob eat over 400 carbs a day when I don't care.
Now I have been below 30 and even close to zero most days, and I don't seem
to lose anything.
About the fat...is all the fat to make me happy and eat less protein?
Or does eating it make the body let go of it's own fat?

Please keep in mind that I lost nothing doing zero carbs, zero protein, on fat fast for
5 days. I only had macadamia nuts, cream cheese...uh-oh pecans too.
Maybe that is what threw me off?

Huh!!!!
Question if I get liquid splenda and organic zero carb heavy cream, can I drink as much coffee and cream as I want to? Oh goodness, I would love to do that.
I'm always going to be some kind of a binger...I even binge on water now.
2 gallons a day and sometimes more.
What about rockstar sugar free drink, I like that.
I can't get my body to move the weight off.
I was eating 1000 calories and all of my pants are still the same...tight.
I messed up yesterday, from being depressed and stupid.
I had over 20 carbs...from eggs, 2 slices of cheese (12 carbs), dunkin doughnuts coffee with half and half (alot) and 4 equals.
Now I can't get pass moderate on my keto sticks.
I mean who cares, they have been purple and I can't get the deep anymore, no matter
what.
Plus I know it's dumb cause I'm not losing.
Measurements are the same too.
I feel hopeless, why don't I lose 5lbs a week?

Uh-oh I think truvia has me out of ketosis. I thought it was impossible (sigh)
Sorry my prev. post is sooooo long, I'm a gabber.
Feel free to skim. I think I just need to get it all out. (sigh)

My personal opinion is that you can gain weight on a fat fast. They have to be somewhat calorie controlled, maybe 2000 calories but it can't be a free for all. You need to eat a minimum of 1200-1400 calories a day. 1000 calories is starvation mode and your body will hold onto the weight because it thinks you are on a deserted island!

Now, about ketone sticks. Barry Groves, the EFGT guy, says that his wife was pegged purple for 4 months and never lost 1 pound. Ketosis doesn't mean you are losing weight. All it means is you are using dietary fat as energy because your carbs are low. Don't rely on the ketone sticks.

Have you ever tried Fitday.com? Fitday is a great way to track your calories and percentages and keep things in line. You have to measure and weigh everything. Try it for a couple of days and see where you are.

I'm not sure about Truvia. It is the best sugar alcohol and stevia so I'm in favor of it but surf these boards and see if anyone else has that problem. Also, with as much water as you are drinking, your ketones will be very dilute. Dark purple is often a sign of dehydration.

those calories are too low.
and those keto stix can make you crazy. i mean, really, peop lose weight on weight watchers and are not in ketosis.

with a fork.

Pam or butter a small frying pan..and pour egg mixture into pan..and cook on
medium high heat..When bottom is golden, flip and cook.

Slice up 4-5 strawberries..Flip the omellette on a plate..put stawberries in the middle..then flip the top over it..Top with whipped cream..

This is so easy and wonderful!!! I used 1/2 Tablespoon of butter to fry it in. That's in these ratios.

Ratios: 76% fat
7% carbs
18% protein

Oh my gosh, this was amazing! like a belgum waffle! Thank you for this post and the entire thread. Love it!
