Hi there I was wondering if anyone has tried the ketogenic diet? If so what did you think. I started it yesterday but unsure if I'm having the right amount of protein x

Wow that's amazing well done. I have set mine to 40% protein 50 % fat & 10% carbs.
Literally not touched a carb unless it's been in vegetables like carrots tomatoes etc.... Just wondering how people have got on. I'm not hungry at all which I thought I would be as I love my stodgy foods x1 -
Have you tried a keto calculator? This one will let you play with it a bit. I've made myself sick from too much protein and not enough fat.

I have been Keto for 11 months. Started at 165, now I'm 133 and I love it! I even had to reduce my ADHD medication because my newfound mental clarity combined with my medication had me bugging out! Lol
I don't plan to ever go back to eating carbs.4 -
Keto newb-ish here! I'm about 3 months in and have dropped a few pounds and a lot of inches. I hang out around 70/20/10. I do net carbs, so my 10% comes out to net about 5%. Anything above 70%F makes me happy!2

I started keto on the 11th april and as of the 18th I have lost 11lbs, down from 177, I have 10% carbs, 30% protein and 60% fat, thoroughly enjoying it!3

Ketogenic diets may be slightly more effective than balanced diets in helping morbidly obese people to lose weight (only a few %, and its debated by other studies). The main reason to do it is if you find it easier to stick to long term than a balanced diet. Some people do, some people dont. The same deficit with a balanced diet will result in the same amount of weight loss.
Watch out for carbs in veggies like carrots and tomatoes. They still count! Ideally you want to keep carbs below ~25-30g and of those, they should be from trace sources such as fibrous green veggies. Also make sure to keep fats high. Some people have a tendency to go primarily protein and your body really needs the fats to function on keto. Start at around 65-75%. Look into doing regular refeeds if you are exercising with much intensity, also.
Good luck!4 -

more fat than protein.. not sure what a ratio would be for as much as 50g of carbs though - i'm sure someone else could answer that, but for a strict Keto diet it's 5% carbs 75% fat 25% protein.. so you will probably be somewhere similar... maybe 20% carbs 50% fat and 30% protein - something like that.0

I've been on Keto for just over a month. I started through a health clinic and so far am down 13lbs in 4 weeks. If you starting out make sure you also getting the right vitamins/minerals/electrolytes as well and drinking at least the 64oz of water a day if not more. This is a good site with basic info.

Ditto
OP. 40% protein is waaaaay too high. Excess protein will be converted to glucose.

As a general rule, this is true. However, if one is running a vigorous lifting plan (I used to lift six days per week, twice per day on two of those days, while I was tearing through my noob gains phase), their protein needs can be notably higher than your average keto dieter.0
