Maintaining Ketosis

GeorgeGCT

Hello world. I am new here and on a strict Keto nutrition plan. I am not looking for weight loss/gain specifically. My goal is to improve my health and make my body adapted to run on primarily fat. Would love opinions and experiences. My macros have typically been 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs. It varies slightly as many of you know. Enjoy your day/night

If you look into the MFP groups you will find the Low Carber Daily and Keto groups. You'll find a lot of info and support in those groups.

Your macros look fine to start with. Don't forget to increase sodium to 3000 to 5000 mg a day. That's roughly 2 teaspoons of salt.

Good luck!

Thanks. I have increased my electrolytes. Has helped a ton since I am expelling more water on Keto. I was searching the Keto rooms. Still trying to find one that is suited.

Hiya! I am doing keto kinda sorta too! Never get my fat as high as it should be, but I do keep my carbs low. I am a veggie/protein kinda girl! if you looking for a slightly keto friend add me up!

Hi George! I’m a fellow ketoer! I’ve been at it for almost 5 months, and loving it! I have an open diary, and love encouraging all of my friends! Looking for more mutually supportive friends as well. A lot of mine have fallen off the wagon it seems. Feel free to add me!

if you dont already know your body will run on dietary fat as its main fuel source and body fat is lost in a deficit. if you already know then carry on and disregard this. good luck

If I need to get my fat up, I add MCT oil. Been able to keep it around 2 tablespoons daily only. My foods have been mostly there. Lots of eggs, avocado, walnuts or pecans, and bacon. I cook my scrambled eggs right in the fat. No waste here 😁
