I have been in the ketogenic lifestyle diet since 2018. High-quality keto diet means high-quality fats which are the major requirement. Your body uses fat as fuel! Low-carb diets are very effective at reducing that harmful abdominal fat.

In reply to Lindsay. Water helps detoxify. It's recommended to drink 64 fluid ounces a day. Thirst can be confused with hunger and people sometimes eat when they should be drinking.

Water will not break down fat. The absence of glucose in the system is what breaks down fat. Your body uses your own body fat as energy when there is no glucose in your system. You should not consume very large amounts of water. It flushes put important electrolytes. Drink when you’re thirsty.

In reply to Rachel. I find it more effective to keep track of macros in an app like MyFitnessPal. If you don't, it's easy to get off track.

In reply to madeleine. Hi Madeleine! It sounds like you are doing everything right with the daily macros. Sometimes, it can be hormones getting in the way which may require some testing to be sure. I always find the last 10 pounds are hardest to come off. I'm 46 and do have to be more careful with what I eat due to hormonal changes at this age. The low carb sweets do have an affect as do fruits and vegetables if I eat too much.

I started low carb in July and lost about 8 pounds in my first week and a half since then I have seen very little loss but I have seen over an inch and 1/4 lost from each my hips, waist, arms and thighs. I am eating less than 20 net carbs a day and only 1237 calories a day with macros of 70 to 72 fat around 24 protein and the small remainder is carbs. where am I going wrong that I am not dropping more weight? I am 43 years old had a hysterectomy and my thirties and have about 25 pounds to lose. I have spent years starving myself…I do feel good and actually my brain is having a hard time with the fact I am not gaining while eating this much! Thank you in advance for your reply I enjoy reading your articles and seeing your recipes
