it's a marathon, not a sprint, don't stress just keep doing what you're doing, you're going to go through phases of plateauing as your body constantly adjusts

Don't panic, keep doing what you are doing. I found I plateaued every now and then but it does eventualy start dropping again. Also there's no quick fix and I think rapid weight loss would be worse in the long run as a shock to the system. As long as you don't put on, it will drop.
Also maybe re-examine your diet, maybe something has crept in with hidden carbs\sugars.

Made waffles from ground sunflower seeds this morning
They came out great, sturdy enough to sandwich bacon and cheese between them without breaking, no crumbliness, but still soft and chewy (almost like real bread!). The ingredients are also much cheaper: no R350/kg almond flour, no coconut flour, no cream cheese.
On the negative side, they're much much more dense (and less airy) than bread, they feel more "heavy" (not sure how to explain it). And between the 4 waffle squares (2 sammiches) they're something like 14g of carbs, so that's half the day's quota gone if you want to safely stay in ketosis. So, not an every day thing, but will probably become a weekly affair.
share the recipe plz ... would love waffies for the weekend little extra cinnamon and xyl!

you could also try intermittent fasting, apparently that can help, never tried it myself so it's not something I've studied a lot

have a look at the amounts of food you consume... you still want to try and eat a little less... consuming less calories
make sure you drink enough water... or only water if you want to keep losing.
but as OMB said... just keep trucking

I have an active job. Mechanic/Workshop Manager/Installer/Deliveries so I do burn quite a bit and I am consuming around 1500 calories by our calculations.
The recipe I used came out to 4 waffles, I could have kept half for tomorrow but where's the fun in that?
I used this recipe with all the quantities halved, and just threw it into the waffle iron as per the waffle iron's instructions instead of in a bread loaf pan in the oven

Only substitute I made was subbing "sunbutter" for normal butter
These photos are from a previous attempt. As you can see they still look more like wholegrain/seed loaf. They're definitely more savoury than sweet. For dessert waffles I think the cream cheese ones work out better

The waffles looks great, but the bread in that link is the worst I've seen to date
i got that same feeling then i glimps the price of one of the better irons at like R2k and even
one for R5k then the feeling went away!

Hi guys, I have been on lchf for about a month now.
I managed to lose 5kgs which is awesome however my cholesterol increased from 4.8 to 6.3.
Should I be overly concerned?
My daily eating consists of:
Breakfast - 2 fried eggs, half an avo and some mozzarella.
Cup of coffee with full cream milk no sugar.
Lunch - piece of protein (chicken, fish or beef) lots of vegetables and olive oil drizzled over.
Cup of coffee with full cream milk no sugar.
Post gym I would snack on some almonds and biltong.
Supper would be similar to lunch.
Evening snack a block of 80% lindt chocolate.
I'm really enjoying not eating any processed food.
Any advice would be welcomed.
