hey guys, so this is my first week on keto and i just went on the scale right after i woke up...i lost 4-5lbs this week eating my maintenance cals! is this a diet that just requires a higher uptake in order to cut properly or did i just lose a ton of water weight (something i hear which happens on this diet at first)?

Yes, you do lose water, but it's also possible to lose weight eating at maintenance, at least for a while. Enjoy it.
65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs = keto.
