Thanks for that. That chart is very useful. I'd appreciate the pdf too.

I've only just started a keto diet in the past week, I'm on day 7 today. My body has really struggled to adapt, and have had some really extreme reations, but for others the process goes quite smoothly, depending on how used your body is to not running on glucose. A lot of people do get Keto flu...

Hi. Sorry about all the questions, but I can't find the answer elsewhere on the internet: What happens to our blood sugar reading if we are in ketosis and adjusted to fat burning? Will it simply settle on a level and then stop there, or will the ketones we produce naturally raise blood sugar...

Hi Greg. I'm a newbie too, but I'll have a go. I can tell when I'm in Ketosis through my breath. You produce a metallic taste, and somehow feel a little different. I also use Keto sticks, which you urinate on and they tell you what ketones you are producing. My entirely uneducated guess is that...

Thanks

I have been eating a lot of dairy, my reasoning being it's as pure a fat I can think of. Is this a bad idea? will it raise insulin?

Thanks for your advise. This is pretty much what I'm doing, though I think I'm eating too much. Will I keto adapt quicker if I eat less, even fat?

Yes. I feel much better without carbs for a while, all those symptoms go away, but then I start suffering from not having any carbs in my body when I have only ever run on glucose my whole life. That brings with it hypoglycemia and feeling very ill in generall. At the moment I am stuck between...

It may well be that. It happens with all carbs, though, even veggies. It's completely bizzare, and seems to be my body reacting against years of food-abuse.

It's been really strange. No doctor can work it out, although I have been refered to an endocrinologist who may get to the bottom of it. Basically, whenever I eat carbs I have a massive emtional reaction, I cry and have a big emotional, almost hormonal release. this is totally diffent to my...

Why no cheese?

Thanks. I don't actually have diabetes, and my blood sugar levels are fine. I am having a strange reaction to all carbs, though, which is why I'm trying to adapt to keto.

Thanks

Hi. I am in ketosis, but not yet adapted. I am eating quite a lot of calories of fat, and am not losing weight, ( not that that's my aim ATM.) Will I adapt quicker if I have less calories? If I am always feeding my body even though it's mainly fat, will it ever adjust? Thanks

So am i right in thinking that a large showing of ketones in the urine tests means that you are beginning to produce them, but that your body is not yet used to using it as actual fuel? The reason I ask is that I am having a hard time adapting to keto. However, for about 30 mins today I...

So I could use the keto strips as a tool to measure when I'm keto adjusted? The readings are high now, but if they dissapear without me eating carbs I should be more keto adjusted.

Great, thanks

Hi. I am using a ketone stick that uses urine to measure my ketones. As I understand it, it measures excess ketones in my body. My question is that if I get more keto adapted and get better at using ketones for fuel, will less be excreted, and will my ketones sticks actually show a lower...

Thanks for your replies. I have been left no choice but to do this because everyone I eat any carbs, even veg, I have been reacting terribly to them. I've seen doctors and dietitians, and their theory is that my body is reacting against carbs after years of abusing them. Anyway, carbs are...

Hi. For the last 2 days I have gone completely 0 carbs. Over the last 2 months I have been cutting my carbs drastically, trying paleo and eating little bits of carbs, but because I'm getting such a reaction to any carbs I am having to go completely 0 carbs. My withdrawal symptoms are an...
