Help

Hello all,

I’m reaching out for some support. I started lazy keto and 16:8 intermittent fasting just a week ago. I skip breakfast, eat a light lunch generally consisting of dinner leftovers, then eat dinner before 8 and nothing else. Dinner is usually a creamy chicken dish, zucchini lasagna, etc. I’m always starving.

Anyways, my progress the first couple of days was insane.

3/5 257.8 (started diet) 3/6 254.5 3/7 252.1 3/9 249.7 (after work)

I’ve started running recently, and lifting weights for the first time in years. Despite the fasting and keto meals, I’ve started gaining weight the last couple of days. I know it’s only been a week, but my scale says I’m back up to my starting weight. I feel like with the exercise, running, and starving I’d at least be down. Is there any chance that some of it is muscle weight? I just can’t figure out how I’m the same weight now, working out and starving as I was eating Doritos and Taco Bell at 2 am. Is lazy keto not for me? I lost a lot if’s right on keto years ago, but was already stressing about the macros. I’m just pretty disheartened
