I have been on ketogenic diet for almost a year. I had very good success with weight loss and glucose levels. I just got my blood ketone meter and the readings are only 0.6-0.8 in the morning. My carbs are generally below 30 grams, but I think I need to drop my proteins which are now about 125-140 grams per day. I would…

A month ago, I had problems walking, my muscles were all knotted up, I had to stretch and get massage to loosen them up. I think with ketogenic diet you need to replenish…

One surprising thing I recently discovered on a ketogenic diet regarding water, is how important it is to replenish salt and water. I had a couple weeks off and decided to up my exercise to 2-4 hours a day of mild bike riding or walking, the energy level did not drop during the exercise. Later, however, I felt low in…

Hi there WOW, thanks for the tips, I just recently realized that protein has a non ketogenic effect, during the holdiay, averaged protein around 140 grams per day, I dropped to below 100 grams and bingo, lost weight and dropped glusose reading by 20 points. So now I'm trying a ratio to 80/15/5 ratio fats/protein/carbs.…
