Hi everyone,
I started a low carb diet on Sunday but I'm having difficulties and I was hoping that someone on here might be able to help me.
On Tuesday I used a ketostick and it showed that I was in ketosis. But when I weighed myself this morning I hadn't lost any weight at all! After 4 days of low carb I would expect to have lost at least a couple of pounds.
Also, I've been so hungry the last 2 days. I'm still in ketosis now but I've been starving hungry all day and had terrible headaches. I didn't think this was possible!
Any ideas what the problem might be? I've done low carb diets in the past but I've never had hunger like this before once in ketosis, and I normally lose a pound a day in the first week.
The diet:
Breakfast: 40g of protein and 70g of fat
Lunch: 80g of protein and 80g of fat
Dinner: 200g of protein and 100g of fat
Drinks: 2.5 litres of water and 2 cans of diet coke per day.
Any ideas what's going on?
