Typically, there are three stages of weight loss in the ketogenic diet:
Rapid weight loss stage - In this stage, you will lose a lot of water weight and see a visible change in your “bloat areas”.
Keto-adaptation stage - Your weight loss will become stagnant, and you may even gain weight. Your body is getting used to the new energy source and depletion of sugar as fuel. This will last for about a week.
Complete keto-adaptation stage - Your body has now learned to use ketones as the main energy source. You will burn more fat. This stage starts in the middle of Week 3 and lasts till Week 4. Some of you may experience weight gain or no weight loss, but thats ok. This is a natural process to gain weight or lose no weight. The closer you get to your goal, the more difficult it will be to lose weight. Make sure to adhere to the plan and exercise regularly.
