The first time I did keto I lost a lot of weight until I started lifting, and while the scale stopped changing entirely I continued becoming much more lean as a result. Definitely have more power lifting with carbs though.
Also it's possible that your carbs weren't low enough (the diet is extremely restrictive, generally you want less than 10-20g carbs which is most / all from leafy vegetables) and you may have been stuck in glycolysis/ ketosis transition which makes you feel weak.
- mrob 10y agoI followed the restrictions carefully and confirmed ketosis with urine testing strips. And I didn't feel weak, I just couldn't lift as much. I doubt I'd have noticed any difference at all if I wasn't lifting.
