Message: <blockquote data-quote="Member496333" data-source="post: 2249691">You sound like a prime candidate for prioritising fat over protein. People say, rightly, that you don't need to slug back vast quantities of fat on keto, but I believe this is incorrect if you are very slim and already metabolically challenged. If your body doesn't want to give up its small fat stores as fuel, then it has no choice but to turn to glucose. And it will make that glucose whether you consume it or not. Prioritising fat over protein will help mitigate this.ETA: Insulin sensitivity is also a huge part of it. Last night I was 4.2mmol/L postprandial after a 285g ribeye and two duck eggs. Eighteen months ago that would have seen me creeping toward a 6. And I'm still skinny, so it can improve in time. Keep calm and carry on <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
