WEIGHT LOSS STALL? (13 Reasons Why Weight Loss Stalls) 2024

Don't let a Weight Loss Stall derail your progress. The Ketogenic & Carnivore Diet works so well for everyone who truly tries it. Sometimes, however, some folk's weight loss slows down or even stops. There are many reasons why this could happen. Here are the most important, and most likely.
Something as innocent as expecting a food manufacturer to be honest about the ingredients in their product can sabotage your weight loss. Don't blindly trust big-food to put the healthiest ingredients in their products; they are in business to make a profit, not to make you healthy.
I tried to rank the Reasons from the most likely and most powerful, to the least likely. Feel free to share this video with friends, or in your group, because many people don't know all 13 Reasons Why...

Dr berry can you offer any advice on my father's situation, he was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and I've finally got him to do keto, however he is getting discouraged because he hasn't lost anything in the 3.5 weeks he's been doing it. He's in his 60s, pre diabetic, and needs to lose at least 80pounds.

@@abbeyguijosa8482 Dr. Annette Bosworth (Bozmd.com) helped her mother with chemotherapy for leukemia using keto principles. She wrote about her experiences in the book "Any Way You Can." She worked closely with her mother's oncologist and so should you, of course. All material on the Internet should be used for its educational value. Dr. Berrry's book, "Lies My Doctor Told Me" asks you to be gentle and respectful, but possibly stubborn, to get consideration of anything that might help your father's health.

I have a question about the diet, weight reduction and what happens to the "fat calories" if you go over your count?

In case you don't have time to watch the whole thing: 1. Understand what a stall is 2. Don't weigh everyday 3. Not counting Macro's / tracking 4. Carb Creep 5. Don't trust Big Food Names (they round down carbs, manipulate serving size, use misleading wording and use sugar and sugar substitutes) 6. Decrease Stress 7. Optimize Sleep 8. Heavy Whipping Cream can stall (.6g carb & .8 protein per serving) 9. Too much protein 10. Too much sweeteners (even keto approved) 11. Try Carnivore diet short term 12. Try Fasting (Autophagy) 13. See a Doctor ( if nothing works)

[@fuzzydogpa7348]

I've been doing keto/ low carb way of eating off and on for 25 yrs and I have observed some things over the years with these so called "stalls". They are not really stalls, when a person is still in ketosis/ fat burning mode and at enough of an energy deficit to still require stored body fat for energy. What happens is that the body liquidfies the fat in the fat cell and uses it for energy and as this happens you will notice your fat areas looking more soft and "flabby" and less firm than they were before. This is how you know visually that your body is in the process of slimming down that area. Then the liquid fat is removed from the fat cell and used for energy but the body replaces that fat in the cell with water. This is why you might not look or weigh less and may even feel bloated and weigh more on the scale, even though you are in the process of slimming down and losing weight. This water in the fat cell can be retained for a week or two but eventually it will be shed and suddenly you will notice that area is not only firm again but smaller. Jiggly fat on a keto diet is a good sign. It's the fat that's about to get burned off the body.

[@ssergeant9682]

I sure would like to believe that. I noticed this morning that I have that 'easy to grab' loose fat around my midsection. I only have about 10-15 lbs to go, but pretty sure that's where it's hiding. I'm 65 and worried about being saggy - so not sure how that part gets addressed? I do exercise. aerobic walking, step routines and free weights. 2-3-4 times a week for minimum of 30 minutes. Once summer or even just warmer weather gets here with a little sunshine - I'm pretty sure that will help. right now - in Illinois - we're in the deep freeze. Ice storms, freezing cold, overcast - and foggy when it gets above 32 degrees. really depressing.

[@angelgirldebbiejo]

@@ssergeant9682 it will eventually firm up after the burning of the fat process. Its just during the process your flabby,when you get down to where you don't have much fat to burn you will firm up.

[@nelliedean7088]

Fuzzy dog pa thank you so much for your inspiring comment. I think it may also be the thing that makes us think we are losing muscle!

[@JosephQPublic]

I’m not entirely sure that’s how the body works... and the body gets rid of fat collectively, not just from certain parts of the body. Stop weighing yourself so much and measure yourself. Dr Ken literally just said that as I was typing it - just measure yourself and pay attention to those numbers instead of the scale!

This is awesome! I am a professor of nursing with a doctorate and I had facial numbness in V2/trigeminal nerve and some vague limb paresthesias, clumsiness walking and they did an MRI. I was told it was MS and referred to neurology. To see a neurologist (first available) took 8 months. Told it was not MS but I should be on a statin due to LDL (I declined citing literature). I’ve been on metformin since 2007 and one day, in a rare moment of genius, I was talking to students about vitamin deficiency and realized that it could be B12. Went keto, started a B12 supplement and my symptoms resolved. Go figure. 😮

One year in to keto Lost 110lbs 😁😁😁 never felt better in my life Thanks doc 😘

[@skyfairy1959]

I’m 54 years old, 5’2” and was 129lbs. In January I gave up sugar (I’m a candy, cookie, sweets addict), and white flour. Exercised 5 days a week, for a month, and guess what? No lbs lost, and my clothes still felt tight. So started keto on Feb1! I keep track of my macros using the a fitness app. I lost 3lbs in the first week, which is unusual for me. But stuck to it! 2 weeks in, down 4lbs, but I really didn’t notice anything in my clothes. Kept on going... 9 weeks down, and my pants are falling off me, down 9lbs. My husband has been doing it as well and lost 20lbs. But the truth is, I don’t have the sugar cravings that I thought I would never lose. The best part is I used to have stomach aches every day!! And since I started keto. No more stomach aches! We went on vacation, and pretty much ate whatever we wanted. Came home and only gained 2lbs, and quite frankly was looking forward to going back on keto because I was kind of grossed out from the sugar and carbs I ate on vacation. Its not all about weight loss, especially if you’re a person that is not necessarily “overweight”, but it’s also about feeling better, your clothes fitting better, and being overall healthier. I’m watching my parents health decline, and would like to try and get them on keto. I don’t want to end up like them. So don’t give up! Use a fitness app because you may think you’re eating low carbs, high fat, you may not be.... So small adjustments might be all you need. Oh yea, and don’t feel like you need to kill it at the gym, do CrossFit, etc, etc. Find some sort of exercise that you enjoy. Walk, hike, bike, dance........ But make it fun, not an obsession!! Just my humble opinion!!

[@mrdomino1881]

I'm kind of like you. Keto is helping me kick my sugar addiction, reduce inflammation, and trying to lose a little fat. Don't have too much to lose, maybe 5lbs at most. On week 3, and haven't lost an ounce, but I'm ok with that. Going after the other health benefits, rather than focus on the number on the scale.

[@NiceLoki]

I've been carnivore for 22 weeks (since 25th Feb 2024) and my weight loss has pretty consistently been 3 weeks steady weight loss followed by 1 week plateaued, but so far never weight gain. Over this time period my waist measurement has dropped slowly, in fits and starts. Fractions of an inch at a time. This month my weight loss has seriously slowed down. Possibly because I have had a higher stress week, applying for a job, going for my first interview in nearly 20 years. This week I haven't lost any weight, but my waist measurement has dropped 2" in 1 week which is huge! Also for the first time in more than a decade I have been able to put my wedding and engagement rings back on! So I will take those 2 as "non scale wins" for this week.

[@consciousness-explored]

This is so helpful. 🙏 Thank you so much. I am new to this and 50 years old. The first two weeks I lost 10 lbs and all joint pain was close to zero. Then I just stopped losing weight. I was still sleeping well and my joints felt terrific! But the scale stopped moving, and I was deviated. I still have 90 lbs to go! Understanding how my body will lose weight in fits and starts makes all the difference to me, and I’m re-inspired to stay committed and give it time.

Dr. Berry: Here's a couple of my thoughts: How about a little wisdom at the start of the day like, "Ya know, this could be a really great day... Maybe the best day of my life!!" (pretty positive way of looking at things, eh?) Now, lets use a 70 yr. old male- 73" tall who 4 mos. ago weighed in at 300 lbs-- 44 and 1/2" plus waist pant size.. sedentary.. with tingling in the feet and hands... Then started on Keto and LOST 80 lbs... waist size 37 and 1/2"... walking tours twice a day... no buzzing at the extremities... and, no more eczema problems.... sleeping well and deep... YEP,,, but,, seems to be stalled for a bit... say a month or so... AND, wants to lose that last 1" 1/2 of belly waist fat... The Plateau phase, which I think the body says, "Hey, that's enough of this fat burning.. Let's keep about 20 lbs of fat in reserve!!"... Here's what seems to be the solution, at least for me... because at the plateau stage, I seemed to be feeling a bit weak and lethargic, even though I was still doing my strict Keto plan And intermittent fasting... (I also got the sense that I was losing muscle tone... maybe burning protein??) So... I very gradually began a morning supplement of whey protein isolate... (about 1/2 scoop from the can or approx. 75 calories per the label).. Plus a 500 mg. supplement of Cinnamon... And Bang!! Big energy boost... (I think the protein supplement is a better way to go than just eating larger weight volumes of meat, i.e. steaks or bacon, or whatever... 5 ounces of meat compared to about 1/2 oz of supplement.. but I may be wrong... Anyway, the belly fat is heading down again.. albeit at a slow pace... but my energy has increased by leaps and bounds.. And I feel so good... thank-you... (my personal solution may not be the answer for others.. I don't know) Lastly, I want to add a topic about health that doesn't seem to be mentioned by anyone... And that is "sexual health" and activity... Meaning, increased libido and interest in sex is basically healthy and stimulating for the mind and body... I am talking in a "decent" sense and general well-being... I will leave it to others to research the benefits of Brain activity and dopamine release, etc.. Just seems like an important but often not mentioned topic as it relates to body shaping and ego... Well, whatever.

One greatly overlooked thing is that alot women assume they are stalled out on Keto, because they do not see losses on the scale for weeks. This can easily be mitigated by always taking measurements, rather than relying on the scale. You can lose inches, but not see the scale going down. Body recomposition is real with Keto! Something else I do, is only weigh once a month 5 days after my cycle ends. Having freedom from the scale is priceless!!!!

I love what you say about the scale! Ever since I was younger, the importance of weighing yourself was influenced on me and I become so obsessive with it. Checking 4-5 times a day along with my sister before we even reached middle school. In high school, I finally reached a weight I liked and then decided I will judge myself by how I appear in the mirror and feel on the inside. Unfortunately things happen... And years later I got way too on the heavy side and luckily was introduced to Keto 5 months ago By my grandmother. And every time she sees me she lectures me on how I need to weigh every single day! I have told her I can tend to have an unhealthy addiction to the scale and she still won't listen. I weigh myself once every two weeks or so and when she sees me and tells me that I look smaller, I know I'm doing right and I just fib about weighing myself (some people only wanna hear what they want to hear so I give it to them...) so it's so wonderful to here you say how it doesn't matter and can cause stress! My grandmother and I are both on Keto and have been for the same amount of time. I've lost 40lbs, she's only lost 15lbs... (I know age difference matters) but I will be sending her this video to get her on the right track (and also she will see how wrong she is about the scale lol)

[@Kuato]

The other thing that stopped you from losing weight was eating too much food and being in an energy surplus. By your logic and bogus explanations, you could never eat food again yet still continue to not lose weight because you’re a woman. 30years into the future, not having eaten a single calorie the entire time, and you’d still be at the same weight as an 80 year old. Makes sense. Must be the female thing. It’s amazing that females even need to eat anything at all then. They seem to run on sunlight or gravity.

[@basantidevi2305]

I lost 42 lbs 18 months ago at a 4lb per week rate at 52 doing keto. I gained 20 back and kept holding the weight over the last 4 months since I began carnivore. Bought a KetoMojo and found my blood glucose was higher than normal which was odd. I found that Vaping increases insulin resistance and will prevent weight loss. I began vaping 6 months ago and now will quit in order to get BG to go back down. I began weening off and now BG is 27 points lower average. When I totally quit it’ll go back down. It matters. My BG was 127 average each morning and ketones .3 to .7 upon waking. Now it’s 97 and .5 upon waking. You have to get BG down and vamping will stall you.

Dr. Berry, in 2006 I weighed 485 pounds and decided to get a lap band, with that I lost 100 pounds and couldn’t lose more. On September 3, 2018 I ended up in the hospital cellulitis for 17 days at time I decided that if I didn’t do something for a life style change, i wasn’t going to have a good quality of life. My sister informed me of the Keto diet and your videos. At that time I had very high blood pressure, A1C of 6.4, hi cholesterol, and weight of 385. Today my blood pressure is at a level that I only take a small dose of medication otherwise it get to low. My A1C is now at 5.2 and my cholesterol is within normal ranges. My weight is now 295 pounds, so that 190 weight loss. I want to thank you for your guidance during this journey and I will be Keto for life.

[@greyladydamiana]

I started out with a single packet of Stevia in my coffee, which evolved into one or two packets in my fat bombs, which evolved into trying keto cocoa and other “ketoified“ foods. And that’s how the spiral got started. I have to go cold turkey off sweeteners just to keep from tripping a binge. So the point about sweeteners REALLY hit home and confirmed what I already suspected. If I don’t want to wind up going through a keto style binge with keto pancakes in the morning that give way to halo top ice cream at night, then I have to steer clear of any and all of them. I might give the carnivore thing a run too, just to get it as paired down on the carbs as I possibly can. Basically starving out the sugar monster.

[@jeanninevautrin3145]

Thanks for the help. I’m 70 years old and been on keto for 1 & 1/2 year. I’ve lost 100 pounds but haven’t lost a pound for 6 months. Well actually I am 155 but go up & down about 3 pounds over and over. Obviously a stall. I think all these things will help me so I will begin being more careful starting now. I’ll let you know. I want to lose 20 more pounds. The best part of keto for me has been the health benefits. I had Lupus (SLE) for 20 years and developed IBS, high bp, high cholesterol, pancytopinia, severe joint pain and disintegration to where I have a replaced hip and both knees replaced. I had inflammation of the lining of my heart and stage 3 kidney disease. I have lost about 100 pounds and SLE is in complete remission and all the other problems have resolved. I was taking six prescription meds and now I’m taking none. I feel better than I have in 20 years. Best thing I ever did for myself.

@@KenDBerryMD Like most of the physicians pushing this "lifestyle" agenda the Doc. is personable, just TALKING to us, not lecturing. As a pretty uneducated individual the "know it all" types that think of us as dummies get on my last nerve. I quite literally stumbled upon my current physician after 29 years a type 2 diabetic. My first visit he told me I could REVERSE diabetes, get totally off insulin. After having heard the last 50 of my 70 years that was an impossible dream I discounted what he said immediately. He had scheduled an appointment for me with his nutritionist so I did a little Googling and VOILA!! I came across Dr. Bery, Dr. Jason Fung and others with the same message. In twelve days I've lost over twenty pounds and my insulin use down by half. The edema in my feet is GONE!! And they were huge. Arthritis is considerably better. After two days of the "keto flu" and a week of diarrhea it's ALL been positive. My Doc has a Facebook page and does a little "social" stuff but he spends a great deal of time speaking to other Docs. at one of the largest medical centers on the planet. Dr. Berry is still in the minority when it comes to Docs. KNOWING what now is possible. So I consider my Docs. time well spent in sharing the message with other physicians. Following Dr. Berry keeps me MOTIVATED. Knowledge and a positive outlook are invaluable tools. He possesses both. I cannot thank him enough.

I've been on keto for 5 months. In the first 3 months, my A1C's went from 8.8 to 5.2, and my cholesterol went from 257 down to 201. I was taken off of cholesterol medication and my metformin was reduced, and my doctor said she will re-review blood work in Sept and may take me completely off of it. I have lost 56 pounds. I suffer from psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. My skin is clearing up, and I'm walking 2-3 miles a day now because my joints feel so good. I have gastroparesis, and I was having a bought once a week or more where I was in severe pain and vomiting all night. Since keto - it's happened twice in the entire time (due to spicy food). I'm at a stall right now, but I'm encouraged because my clothes are huge (lost my skirt at church!!). I will keep on keeping on, and I'll quit weighing in every day. That may help. Thank you!!

[@gaurdianzero29]

I had a doctor that refused to test more than my insulin, blood platelet levels, cholesterol, thyroid, and glycemic index. When I asked that doctor what the results were she wouldn't tell me at all and instead wanted to prescribe me a medicine that would make it so I couldn't digest cholesterol. When I asked her about Keto she told me that it would cause a heart attack (I have hypertension and currently take an ACE inhibitor for it) and that I needed to focus on low calorie no salt diet and exercise (even though I exercise 6 days for at least 30 minutes). After she tried to prescribe the "weight loss" drug and switch me to a hypertension medication that is know for weight gain I knew I had to find a different doctor. I started Keto the next day (didn't get those prescriptions filled), I haven't lost much weight, but my blood pressure has come down dramatically and has stayed at a consistent level. I also have not experienced edemia on this diet. For me though I noticed that if I just go carnivore my blood pressure does spike a little, but if I eat veggies like celery and asparagus it keeps my blood pressure down and prevents me from feeling nauseated. Moral of my story, thanks Dr. Berry for putting out these videos. I hope I can find a doctor in my area that is up on their research and won't be quick to prescribe drugs for weight loss without having the full picture first.

[@MrsMcDorkerson]

I have just found you Dr. Berry and I am so thankful. I started Keto on 9/1/2018 and I have lost 20 pounds. That's awesome, but what I appreciate the most is how amazing I feel. I have Ulcerative Colitus and all of my symptoms are completely diminished. I am 45 and my energy level is through the roof. My skin is glowing, my fluid retention is gone, My overall health is at least 70% better. I went to the doctor after 3 weeks and all my numbers came back great: insulin, thyroid, blood pressure, cholesterol, tryglicerides, (full metabolic panel). My doctor is a big proponent of this way of eating and I can honestly say for the first time in my life I feel in control of my eating. My current weight is 238 and I can honestly say that the 100 pounds I keep losing and gaining (for the last 20 years) is going to be a distant memory. I am in no hurry as this is my forever way of life, I feel such freedom. Thank you for all of this wonderful information, you are awesome!

I did 100 hour water fast before I started Carnivore on July 6th. I lost about 25 pounds over that first month. I’m now at a standstill with my weight loss and am not noticing my clothes getting looser. I’m a 37 yo female and on no prescription medications, I only take supplements. I was eating more cheese during the 2nd month only cause of the convenience. I have stopped the cheese and have noticed less inflammation since I stopped. Also during the first month I had given up coffee all together mainly because I only enjoy it by using half and half. The reason I gave up coffee and the reason why I chose to do carnivore is because I did an at home food sensitivity test many months ago and meat was the only food group that was all in the green (good zone). There were only like 2 or 3 fruits and vegetables that were in the green zone. Unfortunately, coffee bean was in high red which is why I chose to give it up that first month. Do you think that there’s anything to the food sensitivity results? Is coffee causing my weight loss stall? All I eat is ribeyes, burger, homegrown eggs/butter, chicken, and fish. I’m just super discouraged and have made some drastic changes and feel robbed that my results are stalled. I also use mustard as a condiment because I actually enjoy it. I would greatly appreciate your feedback and so sorry for the long post.

Omg I am so happy....I haven't been able to fast since I was young I would get sick headaches, also it really took my body this 6 weeks to really be keto adapted....my migraines are gone, my adult acne gone, my blood sugar stays between 82-98, I'm not so tired during the day, my pain levels are better, I sleep all night, I have energy to hang with my kids and grandkids more, my teeth and gums stopped hurting, my stomach acid problems are getting better, and I've lost 18 inches from head to toe plus 14 pounds ...this keto thing has been a life saver for me it's unbelievable.. It's easy to do cause there is recipes for almost everything. Thanks again for this advice...👍🏼😉
