I’m taking Keto OS for about 4 months now and I’ve hit a brick wall, I can’t lose
any weight.
Have you heard that?
Have you heard somebody like that?
Well, it kind of happened to me and I wanted to make a quick video and kind of give you
some perspective.
Again, I have been taking Keto OS for more than 4 months now, lost weight consistently
every week up until a few weeks ago when I started traveling again and I was traveling
extensively.
I travelled for about 4 weeks back to back to back to back and I thought I was doing
pretty good on the road.
I was eating relatively healthy, still wasn’t eating carbs, I wasn’t bread, wasn’t eating
pasta, wasn’t eating fried breaded stuff, was eating what I thought was healthy.
And I got back each week and I hadn’t lost any weight.
Now, I hadn’t gained any weight, so that was at least a positive.
And I kind of got down on myself a little bit, here’s another week went by, you haven’t
done anything, you haven’t lost any weight.
And rather than blaming the product or blaming whoever, I decided to sit down and really
look at the situation and look at myself and say, okay, it was working before, what’s
changed?
What am I doing differently?
Be honest, what are you not doing?
And so, as I started kind of writing down this little checklist of what have I been
doing, what have I been doing right, what have I been doing wrong, I noticed that and
I didn’t really realize this until I really sat down to start writing it down like day
by day, did I take my Keto OS two times a day?
What did I eat?
When did I eat?
How much did I eat?
What kind of foods did I eat?
And not so much did I eat too much, but did I eat the right kind of food?
Did I eat a high fat food?
Did I eat moderate protein?
Did I eat too many carbs?
Did I eat too much sugar?
And as I started going down the list and looking at possible reasons why I wasn’t losing
any weight, it was very evident, I had not been taking my Keto OS every day.
I’d been taking it once a day, there was even days I skipped it altogether, because
I was on the road and I’d get busy and I’d forget to take the packets with me and I would
take any in the morning and then I’d take on in the afternoon and then I’d forget
because I’d have a customer dinner.
I stopped doing my Keto coffee or bulletproof coffee.
I think I maybe did that once or twice a week.
And I also stopped doing any kind of exercise.
Now, I’ve not really been exercising, I’ve been walking a few days a week.
I’ve been using this Fitbit and I keep telling people that I’m doing that, but I’ve noticed
that my steps have went down.
I had been averaging about 6,000-7,000 steps and working towards getting to 10,000 and
I noticed that in that time period, yes, I had some days where I had 8,000 or 10,000
or 11,000 steps in a day, especially during conferences where I walked around a lot, but
then there were days were I had 2,000 steps or 3,000 steps.
I also realized that I had not been doing any kind of exercise whatsoever.
I had not been walking, I had not been going to the gym or doing anything.
I had started going to the gym a couple of days a week.
So, for that time during my travel, I really hadn’t done of that.
So, I decided to kind of reboot the system and see if I could get back on track.
So, I went back to doing 2 Ketos OS’s a day, I went back to having my bulletproof
coffee, and I’m alternating between my Keto cream and my full-fledged bulletproof coffee
with the Kerrygold butter and the coconut oil and having that.
And that seems to work for me, to bounce between the two.
I like the Keto cream when I’m traveling because it’s easy.
I don’t travel with butter or coconut oil, but when I’m at home, I actually like the
butter and the coconut oil in my coffee.
And I’m not a super big coffee drinker, so I actually have to remind myself to drink
my coffee and to drink it within a short period of time, otherwise I end up reheating it.
And I don’t know if that has anything to do with the contents, but I just don’t want
to be drinking one cup of coffee or two cups of coffee or a cup and a half, whatever it
mixes up to be, over a whole day.
So, I did, I really buttoned down.
I started taking my Keto OS twice a day.
I started taking my Keto coffee or bulletproof coffee every day.
I started, I walked a little bit a couple times, not jumped on and started doing anything
crazy, but just started trying to get my steps up and get it back up to 5 or 6 thousand steps
a day and then I walked on the treadmill I think 2 or 3 times in the last week or so
for like a half an hour to 45 minutes.
And that’s really been good because what’s happened is, boom, I got right back into it.
So, I got down to 253 pounds from 286.6.
Good jump right in the beginning, lost a bunch of weight the first 9 days and then I was
consistently losing about 2.2 pounds a week and then I had about a 3-week, 3 and a half
week stretch where I didn’t lose any weight and it was 253, I might be 253.2, I might
be 252.8, but it was right there at 253 constantly.
And then I rebooted, and when I rebooted very quickly within a couple days, I started going
down again.
I got down to 250, I got under the magic mark of 250 and I got down to where I am today,
248.4.
The lowest I’ve been in, gosh, I don’t know, probably at least 8 years.
So, I just want to make this quick video to say if you think you’ve hit a brick wall,
really evaluate what’s going on, really evaluate what you’re doing, because more
than likely there’s a whole bunch of small things going on.
I was eating relatively healthy, but I was eating out, I was eating at restaurants, who
knows what they put in their food, even in their vegetables.
You get sautéed vegetables, but you don’t know what kind of salt they’re putting in
there, what kind of other preservatives they’re putting in there, in their meat, you don’t
know the quality of their meat, you don’t know where they get their produce from.
You know, the quality of the seasonings they’re using.
I’m convinced that if you ate the same meal at home and the same meal out on the road,
that the meal at home would be healthier for you because you know what you put into it.
So, I just want to make that quick video.
I’m back on track.
Will I stay on track?
Will I fall off and have another week or two weeks or a period of time where I’m not
losing weight?
Probably.
My body’s changing, things are changing, some things I’m doing now that help me lose
weight I’m going to have to change later.
In the very beginning, I didn’t have to do any exercise at all.
Now I do need to get my calorie count, get my exercise count up so that my calorie count
can stay where it’s at.
I don’t want to eat less; I don’t want to eat…
I don’t want to count calories and do all that.
So, as I start getting leaner and leaner, I’m going to have to add back more exercise.
That just helps your whole body work and helps things work better.
So hopefully somebody gets something out of this.
I just thought it was pretty amazing that within a couple days of just getting right
back on track, I was back to losing weight again.
So, if you’ve stalled, if you’ve hit a brick wall and you can’t lose any weight,
really look at what’s going on.
Be honest with yourself, that’s the toughest part is to say, alright, what did I really
do?
Did I really do the things I’m supposed to do?
And if you think you are and it’s not working for you, try tweaking it.
Maybe you do need to walk some more, maybe you do need to cut back your calories some
more.
Maybe you do need to increase your fat some more.
Definitely look at what works for you.
What worked for me was staying on this regimen, 2 Keto OS’s a day, bulletproof coffee every
morning.
I’d eat 2 meals a day, high in fat, moderate protein, low carb, no sugar, as much as I
possibly can and make everything God’s food, as fresh as I possibly can make it.
Nothing in a box, nothing in a bag, as fresh as I possibly can.
I hope this helped, take care.
