    Ketosis slump?

    Currently on day 20 of a serious keto diet. Im getting less than 5 grams of carbs per day. My fat loss seems to have slowed. Does anyone have tips on how I can burn fat alittle faster in ketosis?

    Sounds like a problem with leptin most likely, you could try having a high carb meal or possibly even day depending on how your body deals with the carbs just make sure you don't crash and I have done this in the past

    15% is still high enough for burning fat a rather fast pace.

    Do you do cardio? If yes, how do you do it and how many times a week?

    I went from 325 to 250 on a similiar diet. Had the same problem, and having some carbs helped. I wasn't as low a BF% at the time though. At least not that time.

    If you are a lifter a refeed is essential. Your weight graph will go up and down every week but that is the ideal on, say, a CKD plan.

    Either way, you will still need to keep a calorie deficit. What is your tdee and what is your daily intake?

    Nothing to do with 'sensitivity'. If you're on a extended keto and you re-feed, then you'll surely add glycogen/water weight. Isn't fat...and isn't an issue mate.
