    Keto is high in fat, not in proteins. For example, I assume only 67g of proteins daily (and I'm 80kg).

    I would have though twice about creating a thread which recommends specific macro percentages vs. actual grams.

    Depending on an individuals daily calorie goal, 65+% dietary fat, 30% protein, and 5% carbs can be wildly different from one person to the next.

    Second this!!

    Cheese, nuts, butter, heavy cream in coffee or coconut cream, don't trim your meats as much, eat chicken skins, nuts, avocado, olives, salad dressings and dips for veggies, and fat meats like bacon and sausages are all good ways to boost fats.

    Sounds good, but if i ate like that, since i am sensitive to greasy food, it would make me sick & nautious. What can a person do to avoid that?

    Unfortunately, If you're trying to follow Keto, not much. :/ If it makes you sick, then find another way of eating that works for you and stick to it. There is no "one-right-way-of-eating."

    One very fit guy that I've "talked" with on the boards eats even macros of protein and fat while keeping carbs (generally) below 150g. The examples of food above were given to help boost fat in a diet. Not adding as much fats, and eating lots of protein, may help.

    If you can't eat a lot of fats, then LCHF may not work well for you.

    A well. . . .is deep and holds water. Ugh. Horrible fail on my part. I was thinking you were doing something more then walking, must be mistaken. Something like P90?!? And yes I understood the heavy lifting part of the question. We wouldn't want to derail a thread.

    Well? groan.... I have plans for P90x again but have been away and sick so haven't yet started - the usual excuses.
    tick tock you'll never regret a workout. Get up and get moving.

    :) Can't argue with that! You're right.

I have a sib who is in the same boat and did a high protein low carb eating routine that improved the glucose saturation but caused acidosis and now has kidney disease and now cannot eat any food that contains purines. There has been some minor improvement in my sib's health status, but not enough to keep from having to take medication that has it's own issues.

    Anyone diabetic and not power lifting/heavy weight workouts doing this? Are you heavy on both protein and fat, or moderate of protein and heavy on fat? What's a range that seems to be working well for you?

    Keto IS NOT high protein!

    That's different. 87% seems really high. Proteins too! What's your secret?

    Just tell yourself you'll just stretch today. The energy from that will get your butt in gear. It's my truck anyway;)

    Just 67g of proteins... I think is not too high: it is lower than the "suggested" value. :)
