was that pouch of tuna directly after the protein shake?
Also to be honest...i can't do protein shakes(flat out) during keto. I don't care how hard I work out....I can not lose weight(when low carbing) if there's a shake.

Cut the shake for 2 weeks....or better yet have it but add cream. You won't get the INSTANT protein right after workouts...but to be honest that's overrated to me. THOUGH I do gain muscle easily.

Try it for 2 weeks and see if your fat loss jump starts.

Okay, i'll try that, i put on muscle fairly easily, but dropping the bodyfat is the hardest thing for me. you know. I'll give it a shoot though! thank you

hey girl!
that's 95 g of protein right there - do you know what your lean body mass is?
maybe you're putting on muscle? maybe water? is it that time of the month? i always put on 7-11 lbs of water when i get my period.

I also was able to increase my weights for squats, rows, dips AND lat pull downs this week despite being on a "cutting" diet so I know I'm building muscle.

Did you gain weight according to the scale or did your bf% go up? This is why I HATE to weigh myself. HATE HATE HATE it - it freaks you out unnecessarily. It's probably nothing to be honest. I'm gauging my progress in the mirror and how my clothes fit. I even pinch myself and see how much fat is left haha!

Plus, remember that you just started! Cut yourself a break and give your body some time to adjust to the changes. your body may be trying to compenstae by holding onto water so make sure you're drinking plenty of it. I also read that on keto you need to drink more since we eat less "watery" foods such as fruit and certain vegetables.

maybe i need to just stay off the scale, because i have been down ever since..i mean, really just fell off the rocker! ridiculous!

optimusprimeXD · 12-12-2008, 12:51 AM

Yup...the scale is your worst enemy. I think we all go through that. not seeing the scale move then taking 1 cheat meal that turns into a day, etc.

Honestly even water bloat is the enemy. Time is your friend....time and consistency.

I agree..the scale doesn't accurately determine your progress. I have a trainer test my BF% at the gym once a week while I prep for a contest and that's how I judge how things are going.

Yeah.. I've lost 5 lbs and stopped for 2 weeks.. Either have your BF% tested weekly or just be patient and weigh after 2 weeks hehe,
i might have lost 1-2 the past 2 weeks.. but im lookin leaner and all my clothes are NOTICEABLY looser and my wifes tellin me I look the same.. alot of things can change with muscle mass and fat %.

If you are eating a pre workout meal that has protein and fats in in ~30 min before your workouts, you can get away with no shake after and having whole protein, but if you DON"T eat pre workout, have that shake. You need the protein to keep your muscles up!
