I started losing weight about 6 weeks ago. I hit my initial goal of sub-200 lbs (from 225) which is the first time I've been that low since I got married 7 years ago. I went on a full-out keto diet and love it.
I'm doing some basic body-weight exercises. Squats, pushups, pullups. I want to buy some dumbells for a very basic home gym, but told myself I need to prove I'll actually continue so I want to hit 50 consecutive pushups first (I'm at 35 as of yesterday).
It was weird, I felt almost super-human the first month of keto, where I was faster, had a better memory, was super alert etc. Now I feel "normal" or maybe my sense of vitality has just normalized.I heard being in ketosis while losing weight also helps reduce skin elasticity too.
I never really felt "healthy" while doing keto tho. then again 80% of my diet was bacon and eggs so I probo coulda been doin it better

Yes.One set of 50 push-ups?
Yes.
I might be gaining muscle mass since I've been increasing my lifting volume, but I also am not appearing to lose any body-fat. I bought a food scale to get a little more accurate with my diet.
you are not building muscle by doing body weight squats and push ups lol, especially not if you're in a calorie deficit
It certainly will if he's starting from zero. Everyone starts somewhere.
Not an argument i give a shit about but in going from being able to do five pushups to fifty my chest is much more muscular. Same with other major muscle groups.you are not building muscle by doing body weight squats and push ups lol, especially not if you're in a calorie deficit

The other thing that is possible is my CNS snapped back into shape following actually using those muscles. I noticed a huge difference in the amount of mass in my latissimus dorsi that was able to be flexed after my first pullup workout. I have no idea if that is ridiculous and don't really care.You've lost 25lbs which means your muscles have less fat surrounding them, hence they are more visible
You've got more efficient and stronger in certain exercises
The idea that your weight loss has stalled because of muscle growth is laughable, here's why.
Let's say you're eating at a conservative calorie deficit to lose 1lb a week, for your scale weight not to change would mean that you're gaining 1lb of week of muscle.
Nope that isn't happening, not at a calorie deficit and not on body weight exercises.
If you want too keep losing weight then do 10k steps a day, do a proper weights program and/or do some high intensity cardio (a body weight routine would work if you reduce the rest periods and do 4-5 moves in quick succession)
Eat 10-12 calories per lb of body weight
