yes, eating too much protein may prevent ketosis. can't see your diary, so don't know how much protein you are eating.
ketosis comes when you eat very low net carbs (carbs - fiber - sugar alcohols), moderate protein, and high fat. Typically people have good success getting into keto state with 5% carbs/35% protein/65% fat. Some others like me, tend to do better with just a little less protein and more fat. More like 5% carbs/25% protein/70% fat.

5+35+65=110...

5+35+65=110...

actually it = 105, and it was a typo. my apologies.

My above post should have said 5% carbs/30% protein/65% fat

Hi, I'm a newbie too. So new I haven't even finished my profile or figured out how this site works yet.

I've read a lot about Keto & the Atkins diet. I've been easing my way into it for a few months now and have lost about 10 lbs with well over 100 lbs to go. I'm pre-diabetic and definitely have issues with carbs as well as carb/sugar cravings.

Keto is do-able to me and my limited experience has seen some reduction in the cravings. I'm still confused about the macros but learning as I go.

Just wanted to say hi & I'm glad to find the group for support.

Just a cursory look at your diary, ~ 3 days worth, I would say you do hit some pretty high numbers. This might violate MFP gospel but our bodies do not require a lot of protein especially when following a ketogenic diet. The hormonal regulation because of the increased fat has a significant muscle sparing effect. That being said too much protein will definitely kick you out of ketosis because the excess is converted to glucose via gluco-NEO-genesis. Basically the formation of new glucose from protein which stops ketosis. If you have the resources by a keto breathalyzer or ketonometer (glucose meter that measure ketones). The latter is very expensive, approximately $5/strip with one test/strip. Whichever you chose you need to have an objective indicator of whether or not you're in ketosis. Feelings or breath doesn't really cut it. Once you have an indicator start with a high fat intake ~90%, then slowly lower that while increasing your protein percentage to find your keto "sweet" spot. Ketosis is individual and some are able to intake more protein and carbs than others. The only way to know for sure is to test yourself. The recommendation of 90% is to start at a level than undoubtedly induces ketosis and then see what you're limits are by adjusting up or down.

Other things that may affect ketosis:
-stress
-lack of sleep
-hormonal imbalance
-gender
-fitness level
-musculature
-digestion
-dairy
-nuts

i just upped my protien in my goals to 25%. I was doing 5/85/10...but just not getting enough protien.

I think i tend to eat more protein too . Its my go-to food. I need meal ideas that are keto friendly, but easy. Im having a hard time getting enough fat and keep my calories in check and not feeling food volume deprived

Volume shouldn't be an issue, since you can mix low carb veggies and fat (butter, olive oil, coconut oil) ... and you can regulate protein via the meat/fish/egg "side dish".
