Post fast regain

I finished a 5 day fast on Thursday. I lost 14 lbs during the fast. I was not in ketosis pre-fast and eating crap.

Post fast I am staying keto and 16:8. I’ve gained almost a pound a day post fast and have gained almost 8 lbs back? Is this normal? I expected maybe 5-7 but now I am worried. Checked my ketones this morning and I am at .7 Should I start leveling out soon?

Answer

Well from what I understand you can expect to lose about .5lbs of fat per day of fasting, so I imagine only 2 and a half pounds of that was actual fat. Obviously it all depends on your level of activity/TDEE though
