    I won’t pretend to know what your journey has been like, but do/did you actually count what you eat or do you just guess/assume? In my experience, everyone not measuring what they eat guesses incorrectly about how much or how little they think they’re eating. Measuring everything you eat is the only way to know for sure if you’re eating towards weight loss. And only in extreme cases is your weight out of your control. So don’t take that power away from yourself.

    Weight loss is all (only) about calories in vs calories out and consistency. If you eat less than you burn and you do it consistently, you lose weight. It’s literally just physics. All diets, including keto, are just complicated ways for you to limit how much you eat.

    Just realize that everyone struggles with it, including fit people. So don’t give up hope.

    Losing weight is simple. It’s just not easy. But you can do it.
