High ketones are only a problem with high blood sugar. It’s a dehydrating illness. It’s the dehydration that makes it dangerous and that’s caused by the high blood sugar first then from the eventually very high ketones which only build up to that level out of a combination of dehydration preventing them from being removed…

There is no specific number on those that is “better” than any other. You need to look at it as a positive or negative. You either are definitely making ketones = any color Or you are maybe not making ketones = no color. That is all. The color is irrelevant. Test and drink a big glass of water and your color will get…

You really don’t have the control over this like people claim you do. Urine ketones are just wasted ketones. Tells you nothing about ketone utilization fatty acid metabolism Anyone can get any range of colors throughout the day and it’s more influenced by hydration than ketone production.

Fiber is another one of those things that we really don’t need as much of as cereal companies would like us to believe. http://www.diagnosisdiet.com/food/fiber/ And I personally, wouldn’t eat flax if you paid me. https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/flax-not-healthy/

Your sodium is low. I personally wouldn’t supplement potassium beyond a little lite salt. I actually don’t even do that as I get plenty from all the beef I eat. It can be dangerous to supplement potassium without a confirmed deficiency.

You’re consuming 1000 calories of which some is vodka.

Sausage crust pizza is my favorite! Start by pressing breakfast sausage into a cast iron skillet. Go up the sides a bit because it shrinks as it cooks. Season it with garlic powder and Italian seasoning and bake in oven til done. Then top with marinara and toppings and bake again til done. It’s so good. He will likely…

Any cheats? Are you drinking fatty coffees or eating spoonfuls of coconut oil? Are you eating a bunch of nuts or nut flour treats or having snacks? Those will prevent fat loss and displace more nutrient dense foods.

You need sodium. No doubt even more than you’re getting. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/salt-guide

I’m not sure why it’s more expensive. Are you buying “keto food products”? I would totally skip those. They usually aren’t actually a good choice any way. Are you buying expensive ingredients trying make fake breads and sweets? Skip it. Don’t try to eat the way you used to. You don’t make long term changes that way.…

Keep tracking. It’s too soon to think you can wing it.

Find Ben Bickmans videos on YouTube called insulin vs glucagon and you’ll understand why it doesn’t.

You don’t need to hit the fat grams if you’re trying to lose weight. Eat leaner meat.

Seems like a lot of calories for a weight loss goal. Also, you do NOT need to meet the fat macro. It’s not a goal. It’s a maximum. You do need to meet the protein goal and I doubt at 20% that it’s even high enough set on a calorie deficit. Aim for 100g protein. The protein goal is a minimum and should be based on…

I don’t really track anymore but last time I did I was trying not to exceed about 80g.

Also look into Aplha Lipoic acid as well as L Glutamine and for immediate relief of pain CBD oil with THC works very well. Normalizing blood sugars is the only cure though. With high blood sugars it will continue to progress. It can take years to fully recover.

Consistently running normal blood sugars is the only way to improve it. You should really consider strict low carb and possibly medication to lower blood sugar like metformin. It cannot heal if blood sugars are high. Above 140 guarantees damage is being done. Hey Dr Richard K Bernstein’s book Diabetes Solutions. You can…

Get Dr Richard K Bernstein’s book Diabetes Solutions. Lots of it is geared toward Type 1 but he does discuss Type 2 as well. Here is a link to many of the chapters that are available free online. Her also has a YouTube channel called Diabetes University you should check out.…

Recent tweet from Tim Noakes and a previous statement from Stephen Phinney

By CALORIES not by grams. You are eating more fat by calories. 100g protein is 400 calories. 44g fat is also 400 calories. So 104g protein and 89g fat is 416 and 801 calories. Your fat is almost double your protein. BY CALORIES. People get this wrong ALL THE TIME and spread this bad info so much it’s now widely accepted as…

That protein is WAY too low. You will lose muscle eating that little. Double the protein to 100g for sure. You can probably keep fat around the same or drop it by 10-15g

I have found it easy to accept also. I was a sugar addict. Serious candy problem. My motivation was to be a good example for my daughter who is Type 1 diabetic so pure determination got me past the initial sugar cravings. Then I used keto sweets and was still drinking diet soda at the time to keep me going until…

The best I’ve ever come across is www.purevitaminclub.com

Yeah, 30% is a lot. Most people that find low carb successful day it’s due to the very low carbs that help them overcome sweet addiction. I can’t do sweet flavors. If I have SOME... I must have ALL. Some of us are all or nothing people. If you are not, then you may be able to make a low carb cookie and do just fine…

Oh, I’m not sure if they will see your question without being tagged. @KnitOrMiss @FIT_Goat Also, glad to have you back! You’ll get back into it. No worries. You can do it!!!

I’m not sure by urine testing but I had a blood meter and I remember I was showing over 0.5 ketones (I think it was 0.7) by around 1pm of my first day. I had been fasting other than coffee with heavy cream from dinner at 6:30 the night before. I had no metabolic condition that I’m aware of. I don’t recall if I didn’t have…

I prefer sausage crust pizza myself. Smush breakfast sausage into a cast iron pan like so and bake til cooked. Then top and bake again til done.

You’re more likely dehydrated. Fiber will add bulk. If you’re constipated, that’s the last thing you want. Are you supplementing sodium? You need proper sodium when you cut carbs to maintain fluid balance. 5000mg a day, minimum, if you’re keto and at least 3000mg minimum if you’re just low carb.
