How do I know if I am loosing muscle mass?

[Pyromane]

Well I started keto diet 14 days ago.
I carbed up, but i feel like I lost muscles.
My grandma says i lost some belly fat but also mass on the shoulders etc.
My arms feel vdry skinny .
I gained some strength or I increased the weight but I dont know I frel like i lost muscles in my arms.
My body weight did not changed on the scale
Hmmm
I thought Im getting a supper pump because of the carb up buz nothing xhanged.

Not losing strength is a good sign. But 14 days is not enough time really.

Also, it sounds like keto is making it harder for you - and for what? There is no special advantage compared to any other diet with the same net calorie balance.

I dont know I just cant figure out which kind of nutrition is best for me

Gaining strength does not mean you did not lose muscle. If you are a newbie, neural adaptation is where 90% of your strength comes from. The brain just needs sleep, not protein.


As for a slimmer waist, stronger abs will suck that in without you thinking about it, even if you did not lose fat.


In my opinion, keto is a bad diet and theoretically will burn muscle compared to a carb diet.

Check the scale, it's possible your weight will drop, either that or you will feel noticeably smaller.
