This is a very short question but I have tried looking for answers wityh the search engine and have come up with nothing. Anyways after gaining some weight after the holidays...Ive decided to start a keto diet...Anyways Ive been eating almost zero carbs since Monday (5 days today) and Ive noticed one very particular thing. Ive been retaining water like crazy. I mean...I drink alot of water all day long ...glass glass after glass of water..but I seem to have stopped peeing completely. Also Ive started doing cardio twice a day in hopes of accelerating my fat loss but it seems I hardly sweat anymore. Today I looked at my body and it is certain that I am retaining alot of water. Are keto diets supposed to make yuou retain water the first few weeks??Are my electrolytes balancing out or something since I have never gone low carb before and my body is used to storing water from carb intake??Or is this diet messing up my kidneys and making me retain the water I drink instead of emptying it out??My sodium levels are in check so that isnt it. Im really worried because I am drinking massive amounts of water and hardly squezzing out a drop....help please

I'm going to guess your taking in way too much sodium as most do during keto. Check the content of the food your eating.

I have...I usually eat steak with fat on it and natural stuff like that. I havent eaten any bacon or pork rinds or stuff that has alot of sodium like that ...at least not yer

Ever done keto before? Fat-allergy maybe? I bloat all to hell when I take in alot of fat too, even if in form of flax

 

[MrMakaveli]

The not sweating thing seems to imply sodium again, throw up your diet and lets take a look

throw up your diet and lets take a look

That could be taken the wrong way...
...I sure don't want to see that!
