Ketogenic Diet - Results Week 3

So week 3 rolls around and it sees me breaking my diet on Sunday but jumping back on it as soon as I could on Monday. Sunday's break was due to my friend's 70's themed b'day party with themed food as well. Didn't see a salad in sight! -.- I did think ahead and got myself a subway salad bowl but unfortunately, I was there the entire day and so got hungry again pretty damn quickly. 

Results were interesting but sadly, water retention is getting worse. I didn't drink enough water this week at all. Weather and stress didn't help.

Well, here's the results for week 3 into the diet:

Overall:
Weight( kg)

First started: 73.6
Week 1: 71.2
Week 2: 71.2
Week 3: 70.4

First started: -1.45kg

Week 2: 6.72
Week 3: 6.72

So the weight loss was good, as was the fat loss. I'm a little pissed that I couldn't keep up with my fluid intake this week even though coffee drinking was down to 2 coffees a day if not one.

Goal for this week. Drink more water!
