From what I understand, you really can eat 10 - 12x's your body weight and keep losing. I had a hard time eating that many calories at first...guess what? Not a problem anymore. I think it's the cream I add to my keto shakes that up's the calories and fat to the percentages that I've been told work.
I always hit 10x's my body weight now ... however, rarely (actually never) do I get to 12x's my body weight. In fact, my averages in fitday are 2084 calories, 67% fat, 31% protein, 3% carbs. The reason I tell you this is because I HAVE indeed STILL been losing weight. My carb intake is between 18 - 25 grams / day.
Now I'm not losing QUICKLY. In fact, I only lose about 1.87 pounds per week ON AVERAGE. (also info from fitday.com) I may go a while with no loss, then WHOOSH...3 or 4 pounds are gone. I wish I could speed it up a little. I mean, 2 or 2.5 pounds / week and I would truly be a happy camper.
But it's amazing that I can eat so much and still lose. I didn't believe it was possible when I first began the program. And I very slowly added the extra carbs and calories. For me, I know 25 carbs / day is pushing it if I want to lose too. All of this you will find out as you tweak your own individual program in the following days ahead. Everyone is different.
I wish you luck. There are others who can probably offer more info, I'm kinda new to this WOE too. But I hope it helps.
