[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 2607444, member: 22428"] Even though I’m post menopausal and do keto I too have to count calories or I gain very easily. I disagree slightly with the statement that no one on low carb has to count calories, some people can still eat a large amount of calories on low carb. We sometimes see advice here to those needing to gain weight on keto/low carb to eat more fat, so who/what is correct? I have to stil to around 1300 cals a day, which is easier to do low carb because of the satiety of the food I eat. If I was on a low fat diet then that’s a sure fire way to be starving on 1300 cals. Weighing oneself- there are 2 ways to go about this in my humble opinion 1) weigh at the same time every day, write it down, after 7 days add them up and divide by 7 - this gives you an average which indicates your weight loss/gain. 2) weigh yourself once at the same time every month, this is what I do, I weigh on the 1st every month, this gives a truer picture of weight loss for me personally [/QUOTE]
