Lost 34 lbs in 3 months on keto — my honest story

34 lbs in 3 months — that's a pace of roughly 2.5 lbs per week which is strong. Well done. OMAD is a powerful multiplier with keto, I agree. When did you start OMAD — from day one or did you ease into it?

Started OMAD at week 3. Weeks 1-2 I ate 2 meals because I was still adapting. Once I was fully in ketosis the hunger just... disappeared in a way I'd never experienced on other diets. I wasn't trying to do OMAD — I just genuinely wasn't hungry until dinner time and eventually stopped fighting it.

This is so inspiring! Did you have a plateau at any point? And what did the first week look like scale-wise?

First week: -9 lbs. I know that sounds insane but it's real — mostly water and glycogen. Then weeks 2-4 were about -2 lbs per week. Then I hit a 10-day plateau around week 8 where literally nothing moved. I didn't change anything, just waited it out, and then lost 4 lbs in one week right after. The body is weird.

Thank you for posting this. Stories like yours keep people going when they're in week 3 and frustrated. Did you exercise much beyond the walking?

Nope. Just the 30 minute walk. I didn't want to over-engineer it — I was trying to build ONE sustainable habit (keto) not six habits simultaneously. The walking was more for mental health than weight loss honestly. Most of the results came from diet alone.
