Ketosis? NK?

eraser51

Does someone has some ideas with a ketogenic diet?

I am trying to reach nutritional ketosis for 4 weeks but seems impossible... my blood ketone readings just go up and down (0,6-1,2).

At least I lose weight but also gain fast if I raise kcal just a bit

What can be the problem?

A quick question, what is your short term (4 week) goal for doing ketosis and what is your long term goal and eating strategy?

FYI at 0.6 to 1.2 mmol/L you ARE in nutritional ketosis. Anything over 0.5 mmol/L is NK.

If you're trying to get more optimized, it might simply be a matter of time. I've known some people that take 8 weeks to get into a more optimized (1.6 to 3mmol/L) ketosis.

Stick with it, maintain a deficit, and you'll get there. If you're not exercising, add some - even if it's just walking. That will help.

This. Be wary of adding more protein. Our bodies can produce glucose from protein. (Gluconeogenesis)
