> Howdy, well I've still not had any noticeable benefit from this diet. Really all I've gotten from it so far is some constipation. BUT I'm not sure I'm actually getting into ketosis. I've been eating quite a lot of fat from different sources, trying to make them mostly healthy fats. And my Ketostix show I've consistently profuced a large amount of ketones lately.I'm just remembering the sticks turning purple/red and I knew I was in ketosis. I think you are not meant to stay in ketosis as it can cause damage of some kind. Its been a while.
> But if I understand correctly, ketones are meant to only spike during the beginning of a keto diet, until the body realizes it is low on glucose for energy, and starts using ketones. I think the problem is too much protein. So in a few days I'm going to try a few days where I eat about 90% fat, with just small amounts of protein and carbs, instead of moderate protein, and see how that goes. I think this is how the diet is done when it is used for epilepsy.Good to know. How is your energy level on it? How long on it now?
