keto stick dark purple still gaining weight, what gives?
I believe my only down fall was I was not eating enough. Last friday I went and stocked up on good food to eat. THought I did wonderfully all weekend.
Last time I weighed in over one week ago dropped down to 193. Today i stepped on the scale and it said 197.
How can this happen when twice a day I test the keto stick and it comes up the darkest color purple.
I have been drinking my water, eating my vegis, and reading every label. I figure my carbs are below 20 grams most day and close to 20 on some days.
THe only thing I was not sure of was I ate sunflower seed (out of the shell) at the movies. I know the book said no nuts for the first two weeks. I am over the two weeks and showing dark purple so I thought this would be a nice treat at the movies to distract me from the popcorn. Other than that I am sticking to the book.
THen I whipped up some whipping cream and added two packs of splenda because I wanted something sweet and creamy. I had no jello so I ate the whipped cream right out of the bowl. (3/4 of a cup)
Is it my calories? Am I eating too much? DId I blow it eating a cup of whipped cream? How can I be gaining?
My only complaint is that I constipated. Otherwise not feeling hungry to often and when I am I eat an allowed food.
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
