Weight Gain

Hi there. I’m new. I am on day 11 today, the first week I lost lots of weight, started on Monday and the next Monday I weighed 7kg down. Was amazing. But since then I weighed 0.2kg higher and maintained that for 2 days, and now I went 0.4kg higher. So the 2nd week is not showing me any weight loss. Really feeling demotivated. Loved getting on the scale everyday and see the scale move in the right direction.

Last night I had a cappuccino as I felt as if I was gona black out, but that was that. It was around 70 calories though. But that was that.

Anyone else going thru the same. Please advise.

The 1st 2 to 3 days of rapid weight loss is from water weight as your body depletes it’s glycogen (stored carbohydrates) from your liver and muscles. After that you’ll experience a steady loss and then hit plateaus and a slower rate. Right now I’m on Day 17. 1st 12 days I lost an average of 2lbs per day. Then over the last 4 days I had several plateaus and lost only 3lbs overall. So don’t get discouraged. Keep looking at the overall trend.

This is an infographic that I like to look at and remember when I’m worried about temporary plateau

Any small amount of calories will take you out of ketosis. Also it is normal to experience a slow down in weight loss…just part of the process as the water weight at the beginning is quickly lost. I started at losing two pounds a day…slowed down to one. On day ten it was the same. Just trust the process and as our beautiful leader says concentrate on your health. Think about the healing that is taking place in your body and know that the weight loss will happen. You will be successful.
