There’s no shortage of stories of people switching to a low-carb diet and losing 10, 12, or even 14 pounds in the first two weeks. While these stories are certainly motivating, they should be considered the exception to the rule. Keto is not a quick fix or miracle weight loss plan. It takes time and dedication.

Yes, it’s important to eat good food, but you also have to consider lifestyle factors, like sleep and stress levels. The hacks in this chapter will help you identify and correct any diet or lifestyle habits that may be impeding your own weight loss.
