How to Break a Weight Loss Stall on the Ketogenic Diet

Ground Beef and Butter Fast™ Test

My test was ground beef and butter for a few days in a row.  I always spiced up the ground beef with a small amount of onion or garlic or both. (that’s a few carbs too)  I cooked the ground beef first.  Then I would serve myself about a cup of ground beef in a bowl and top it with about 3 tablespoons of butter.  I love the salted KerryGold butter myself but any real butter will do.   Man, ground beef, and butter together are delicious!  Seriously, it’s good!  Crazy good.  I ate just enough to fill me up.  It’s filling and it lasts a long time before I am hungry again.  My ground beef meal was swimming in butter.  Here’s what it looked like:

Keep in mind, I am fat adapted and I’ve been doing the Keto Diet 7 months now.

The first day I was down a whole pound in one day!  I was trending at a 1/2 a pound weight loss a week!  I was ecstatic to lose a whole pound overnight!  WOW!

Update:  A reader asked if having a cup of ground beef a day would put me over my protein amount when tracking my macros.  The answer was no.  I decided to capture my macro numbers in a screenshot and share them here with you.  Yesterday, I had my 2 cups coffee (with butter and cream) in the morning, ground beef with butter for lunch and dinner.  Then I ate about 4 crunchy pork rinds.  I drank plenty of water and took my supplements.  I am down another 1.5 pounds today!  This is what my tracking looks like.
