Why You’re Gaining Weight in Ketosis | Faith-Based Healing & Sweet Liberation

When “Doing Everything Right” Still Doesn’t Work

“Dena, I’m low carb. I’m in ketosis. I’ve cut sugar. I’m eating clean. So WHY am I still gaining weight?”

Sound familiar?

If that’s you, first—please hear me:

You are not crazy. You are not doing it all wrong.

You’re just missing a few keys no one taught you… because most people were too busy selling diets instead of teaching root cause healing.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6

What Most Ketogenic Programs Won’t Tell You

Here’s the truth: fat loss is not just about cutting carbs.

If your body is out of alignment in other areas, no amount of “perfect eating” will fix it.

  • If your nervous system is stuck in stress mode → your body will store fat no matter what you eat.

  • If your liver is sluggish → your hormones can’t clear, and fat loss stalls.

  • If you’re not sleeping deeply → you’re spiking cortisol, and belly fat follows.

  • If your gut is inflamed → you can’t absorb the nutrients that fuel metabolism.

Shifting from Obsession to Restoration

So let me ask you:

What would it mean for your health if you stopped obsessing over carbs… and started focusing on restoring your body’s original design for safety, sleep, and cellular health?

This is what faith-based healing for women looks like—moving away from diet culture and into God’s blueprint for whole-person wellness.
