    The dave palumbo diet is similar, except only has a single cheat meal 1 night per week.

    I'd start with that and see how you go.

    Also might need to up your protein a bit?

    It's quite strange, usually after 2 weeks of starting keto people will have dropped 6+lb.

    Actually now i think about it. When starting keto it's usually recommended to avoid a carb up for the first 14 days.

    So guessing you started the carb up too early, and you're going way overboard on your carb ups.

    I don't think there's enough fat in that diet set up. You have to follow this kind of diet to the letter or not only will you not see results, it will probably backfire on you. I didn't add it all up but at first glance you seem to be tilted to protein not fat. I would take this to the KEto forum and ask those folks.

    Personally, I think keto is far less than ideal if muscle preservation is a priority. For most guys, these kinds of diets are a very last resort .

    Have you put all those foods in a calorie counter like sparkpeople to make sure its really 1400 calories and not more?

    Also %'s of macros don't matter so don't think you need to add more fat or you'll just end up loing even less weight.

    Make sure you are eating 1g protein per lb of lean mass. You don't even need anything other than that to lose weight while keeping muscle though fish oil supplementing is recommended. That's a type of protein sparing modified fast. Adding fat to get up to your 1400 calorie mark will keep your hormone levels from crashing as fast and keep you more full and have much more energy. Adding green vegetables help to keep you full and don't count towards carbs unless you are eating an absolute insane amount.

    If you aren't losing weight at your calorie level, you either are not adding up cals correctly, or your hormone levels have crashed from dieting too long and you need to go back to maintenence for two weeks to recover them first.
    Oh I just noticed you are doing a ckd. It sounds like the carb up could be the problem instead. If you are planning on eating whatever you want, cut out all your other meals for that day so you aren't going way over on calories. If you already do that, you need to cut down on how much you eat in the carb up.
    And you may be able to lower your protein intake too unless you are 170 lb lean mass, then you are good.
    And maybe you didn't know but meal timing makes no difference so you don't need 7 meals unless you like that. You will get the same results with 3 meals a day, or even less if you like the warrior diet or intermittent fasting approaches

    I can virtually guarantee you you're not eating enough fat. This is your energy source on a keto diet. If you overload the protein and don't take in the required fat, you're going to burn off a good deal of your protein for the energy instead of getting it to the muscles for LBM preservation. Plus, you'll likely feel like crap.

    Look at Lyle McDonald's keto diet...he's forgotten more about this subject than most will ever know. Also, look at the quality of your fat sources. You need to make sure that you're getting some EFA's and not just plowing the saturated fats (fish oil, flax, etc).

    You'll also likely want to carb up periodically if you're going strict keto, but you need to have some guidelines to follow and can't just do it haphazardly.

    Good luck!

    Also, it looks like you're eating way too frequently for a keto diet. Many have reported better results on keto diets, many with 3-4 meals daily spread farther apart. You get to eat larger meals doing it that way too. The most I would do is five and I've done better with less.

    Yes.
    Carb ups should be post work out, you should hit your regular protein goals, hit sub 50g fat, sub 100g sugar, low fiber and be in the area of 1-3g carbs per lb LBM. If you don't know the macro nutrients of your carb up, it's not a carb up, you just ate a bunch of **** and stored it as fat instead of upregulation of thyroid and leptin.

    ..

    incorporate cardio... whats happening is that your daily deficit isn't enough to counter the carb up your having...

    Some people need to go through extreme measures to hit the 10 % bfat breaking point.. genetics aren't fair,..

    65-70% of your caloric intake should be fat, also eating lots of protein also causes the creation of glucose in your body. You may be eating TOOO much protein.

    I've read in Lyle Mcdonald's Ketogenic book that eating 140g is better and then raising your intake depending how you recover after workouts is optimal.

    your calories are NOT around 1400
    4 eggs = ~400 calories after cooking spray or whatever you cook them in.
    turkey cold-cuts = ~200 cals
    CHEESE - this is like 100 cals/slice how many slices are you having? (this is where i always went wrong with keto too much cheese). You're probably eating between 300-400 cals of cheese and not realizing it here
    chicken - 200 cals
    protein shake - how many scoops? 2? thats 200 cals
    salmon - very fatty fish, probably at least 450 cals here
    4 more eggs - 400 cals
    protein shake another 200 cals
    TOTALS : 400 200 350 200 200 450 400 200 = at leat 2400 cals.

    This is most likely what is going on. With the only other possibility if you really are below maintenance being that your body is holding on to water and due for a whoosh of a few pounds any time now.

    Step 1. Kill your cheat days, they're killing your efforts.

    Step 2.
    Are you doing any cardio? It'll REALLY help jump start things. I do 1hr 5x a week and make sure my HR is between 105-130.

    You need more efficient sources of fat. Try coconut oil, olive oil, and walnuts and add a fatty cut of steak. I would be mixing coconut oil into any whey shakes. Also your carb up is probably detrimental. You're probably loading more cals & carbs than your body can synthesize into glycogen quick enough much is probably being converted and stored as fat.

    This is like taking two steps forward one step back. You can either extend the carb up time from 1-2 days slowly, or decrease the window of depletion between carb ups. Start to count your calories on your high days to see how high you're going from meal to meal and for the day. If you're over eating on your high days you're just constantly going forwards and backwards before your eyes can even catch it the transformation.

    keto diet must keep protien fairly low otherwise the body will make glycogen from it.

    CHEESE - this is like 100 cals/slice how many slices are you having? (this is where i always went wrong with keto too much cheese). You're probably eating between 300-400 cals of cheese and not realizing it here
    chicken - 200 cals
    protein shake - how many scoops? 2? thats 200 cals
    salmon - very fatty fish, probably at least 450 cals here
    4 more eggs - 400 cals
    protein shake another 200 cals
    TOTALS : 400 200 350 200 200 450 400 200 = at leat 2400 cals.

    Eggs are usually 70-90 Calories. So say 8 eggs x 70 calories=560. Lowest shake is like 130. You are taking in two shakes probably at 260 calories. 8 0z chicken breast is usually 260 calories. Salmon is usually 400 calories+. I'd say 60 lowest for a slice of cheese and 70+ calories for turkey cuts.

    This well adds up to more than 1400...and I went the lowest compared to the guy above who went with the highest. Meaning your calories are not right at all. Then with cheat days, obv you are over eating and just not going under a deficit.

    Hi,
    Hoping for some answers. Been keto for about 5 months. Lost about 11lbs in the first 3-4 weeks. Have been stalled out ever since. Taking mesurments as well and no inches lost.
    I track and weight my food. Work out 5 times a week. This is what my macros are currently
    1800 calories
    Protein 120-130
    Fat min 76 max 187
    Carbs below 20
    Reverently had labs and all test came back good. I was fasting 16/8 and eating two big meals. I recently started having a protein shake before my workout. I was getting really sore. I do a 19-22 hour fast on Sunday's.
    Any idea why I'm stalled and not losing

    I have my moments where cheat meal/day negates any deficit I was in throughout the week and I actually weigh in heavier. But I'm talking large meat lovers pizza and a whole 1.5L tub of ice cream.
