Be regular at exercise to continue losing weight on keto diet

Weight loss: Following the keto diet is definitely an effective way to lose weight. During the first few weeks, you are going to see positive results. But for consistent results and progress, keto diet needs to be followed strictly, while being on calorie deficit, in order to make it work for you. If not, then you are likely to hit the keto plateau, in which you stop losing weight despite continuing with the diet. There may also be a time when you gain weight, but you need not worry as that is because you are gaining muscles.

What can you do if you have stopped losing weight on keto diet?

The main purpose of following keto diet is that it makes your body go into a state of ketosis. In ketosis, the body experiences a shift in metabolism and begins to burn instead of carbs for fuel. To ensure that you are in ketosis, majority of your diet (60% to 75%) needs to be fat. Protein intake needs to be moderate (around 30%) and carb intake needs to be minimum (5% to 10%).

You need to restrict carb intake when following keto diet

The idea is to burn more calories than you consume-the ideal equation for weight loss. You need not go on extremes, but there should be a calorie deficit. Moreover, achieving this goal is not so difficult when you're on ketosis-as it naturally reduces your appetite and calorie intake. But here's something you should note. Extreme calorie restriction needs to be avoided. If you consume lesser than 1,200 calories, it can be bad for your health, metabolism and weight loss. Firstly, going on extreme calorie restrictions can lead to nutritional deficiencies. What's more, it can increase cravings for carbs and sugary foods and also make you irritable and moody. Secondly, severely reducing your calories can slow down your metabolism. It makes your body go into starvation mode and this may make you stop losing weight.
