I'm new to Keto and could use some help.
A little background - 61 yo, male, 196 lbs about 25% bf. Started the keto diet (1934 cal, 4%, 20g carb, 68% 146g fat, 28% 135g pro) 2 weeks ago yesterday. 100% of everything I eat is recorded in myfitnesspal and is whole or natural foods; no red meat, dairy (except aged cheddar cheese) or sugar or any kind. The only packaged foods I eat are: 100% peanut butter, canned herring and sardines, clams, coconut oil, olive oil, multi vit and pro-biotics. Resistance training at gym thee days a week, HIIT one day and steady cardio one day.
Observation during past two weeks - I test keto with strips and see very little sign of keto, but it is positive. I have one pair of dress pants that have gotten tighter and the scale (I know not to watch the scale but) stays the same or goes up every time I weight myself. So far I am up 2 pounds; not all all what I would have expected.
Any thoughts from your experiences?
Thanks
