Lost 4 kg on keto in 5 weeks, but my weight hasn't moved for 12 days — should I change anything or stay patient?

Help

Hi everyone,

I'm 31 years old, currently doing keto for fat loss. I lost about 4 kg during my first 5 weeks, but for the last 12 days my weight has stayed almost exactly the same.

My daily carbs are usually below 25g net carbs, and I track most of my meals. Energy levels are good, but seeing the scale stop moving has been a little frustrating.

For people who experienced a similar stall:

  • How long did your plateau last?
  • Did you make any changes or just stay consistent?
  • Were there any hidden mistakes that slowed your progress?
  • Should I focus more on measurements and body composition instead of scale weight?

I'd appreciate any advice from people who have gone through this themselves.

Thanks!
