You’re eating too many carbs

Consuming too many carbohydrates is one of the main reasons people on the ketogenic diet don't lose weight. The consumption of carbs must be significantly decreased in order to reach the metabolic state of ketosis, in which your body burns fat for energy instead of glucose.

In fact, the standard diet advice suggests that between 45 and 65% of calories should come from carbs. But in the keto diet, just around 5% of your total daily calories should come from carbs. When beginning to follow a ketogenic diet, it's common to experience some difficulties cutting carbs. However, carbohydrate intake must be reduced to the suggested range in order to reach and maintain ketosis. Consider using an app to track your macronutrient intake to help you reach your intake targets. This might help you figure out how many servings of carbs you can consume each day based on your calorie requirements.
