ketosis question

opened it now.
I used the ratios from the ketosis calculator.
isn't protein supposed to be low at first?

I'm going to try and ignore much of the derp in this thread about ketoacidosis and the like... and I'll assume you have a legitimate reason for following a ketogenic diet. So, with that said, I'll just answer your question about protein intake and say no, it's not supposed to be lower at first. I'll leave you this quote about your protein intake from Lyle's book on the subject:

The most critical time to ensure sufficient protein intake is during the first few weeks of a ketogenic diet, when the need for protein breakdown to provide glucose is at its highest. After the first few weeks of ketosis, protein requirements will go down as the body reduces its need for glucose. As established in chapter 5, the prevention of nitrogen losses requires a protein intake of
at least 1.75 grams protein/kg LBM (0.8 grams/ lb of bodyweight) OR 150 grams of protein, whichever is higher.

For lighter individuals, 1.75 g/kg of protein may be less than 150 grams, in which case protein should be adjusted upwards to avoid nitrogen losses. After the third week of ketosis, when the major protein sparing adaptations have taken place, protein intake can be adjusted downwards as necessary. Please note that this value was determined for individuals who are not exercising and are consuming minimal carbohydrates.

If an individual is exercising, it is assumed that protein requirements are higher than the minimum of 1.75 grams/kg (~0.8 grams/lb). A protein intake of 0.9 grams of protein/lb of total bodyweight is an appropriate protein level to start at. Although this is slightly higher than the values suggested above, we can assume that extra protein is necessary during the initial phases
of adaptation.

If an individual is consuming even marginal amounts of carbohydrates (30 grams), then less protein is necessary to achieve a positive nitrogen balance. Recall from the previous chapter that 1 gram of protein will produce 0.58 grams of glucose. So 2 grams of protein will produce a little more than 1 gram of glucose. Therefore, for every gram of carbohydrate consumed on a
ketogenic diet, protein requirements should go down by 2 grams. Someone consuming the maximum of 30 grams of carbohydrate per day could reduce protein intake by approximately 15 grams per day.

So there's your answer. As far as not feeling any different, it's been all of 4 days. Very rarely does something dramatic happen in 4 days time.

Comments regarding your diary.

I don't know your stats, but your calorie level seems awfully low for a male, unless you are very short and small.
In other words, the deficit seems too large.

No water is logged. You need a minimum of 64 oz. per day, and while adjusting to ketosis, I'd say double that, as ketogenic diets are naturally diuretic, and you're going to urinate a lot.

During transition, do not limit sodium, in fact, use it. Also, if you get cramps, take a magnesium/potassium supplement.

Eating apples, carrots, peas, and buttermilk, I doubt you will actually get into ketosis. These are more for maintenance because the carrots and peas are starchy vegetables, milk and fruit prohibited for induction into ketosis, as they contain too many carbohydrates to get you into ketogenic state because they up your overall carb intake. Generally speaking, to get into ketosis most folks need to consume 20-25 NET carbs per day. Tomatoes and onions are okay, but are veggies higher in carbs for much smaller portions. Try greens of all kinds, summer squashes, cucumbers, celery, mushrooms, etc. that have much lower NET carbs than tomatoes and onions.

NET carbs are as follows: carbohydrates - fiber - sugar alcohols = NET carbs. You need to change one of your columns on the website to show fiber so we can see how many NET carbs you are having. Currently, I see days with 98, 45, 39, 37, but have not idea how much is fiber.

Artificial sweeteners stall some people. You aren't consuming a lot of them, so I doubt this is an issue.

Nuts are generally not recommended for the transition into ketosis, but may be eaten once in ketosis in small amounts, as long as it doesn't stop your weight loss....transition may take two weeks or longer. Four days is nothing. If all you've had is a little headache and are urinating more than usual, that is normal. Depending on how much water your body holds and how big your glycogen stores were, you may not see rapid/dramatic weight loss.

Exercising heavy is not recommended during transition. Take it easy. Keep your protein higher during transition to spare muscle tissue. Most recommend approximately 150 g. protein during this time, and it can be lowered once in ketosis.

Make sure you are eating fats. At least 65% of your calories should be from fats.
