The Keto diet is best for breaking the weight loss plateau and losing weight, but if you are gaining weight, you are probably doing the following things wrong.

You Are Eating More

No matter what diet you follow, if you overeat and eat in surplus, you will not be able to lose weight.

Cheating Often

Cheating frequently on a keto diet takes a person out of ketosis, which is when weight loss stops.

You Have Hit A Plateau

A weight loss plateau occurs when weight loss stops as a result of long-term dieting. So chances are you need to change your diet.

Hidden Carbs

Consuming carbs kick you out of ketosis, which is when your weight loss stops, so chances are you're eating some hidden carbs.

Constant Snacking

To lose weight, you must be in a calorie deficit, and constant snacking increases calorie intake.

Pro-tip

If you are unable to lose weight despite following the keto diet and exercising regularly, have a blood test done to determine your internal health.
