wait.....................have I missed this, or forgotten this?
we count the grams of protein in our meat or whatever, not the total weight of the chop or egg or whatever? how do I find the protein part please?
I miss my brain cells : )
How do you you're in ketosis? Do you test your ketones?I find that too much protein impacts my fasting blood glucose levels, but it doesn’t throw me out of ketosis. Seems to vary between individuals.
me too...and how (quickly)do you know if you have been thrown out of ketosis or not? Very curious about this.
Last time I tested it was 0.7, not all that good really. I know there's a cline between nutritional ketosis and ketoacidosis and that optimal ketosis is 1.5 to 3mmol/L which is supposed to maximise fat burning. When diagnosed I was 4.8. I was super strict and the powers that be just thought, "yeah diabetes" and not a product of following a good dietThat is certainly my experience. Except when fasting my ketone levels are usually sub 1.0 mmol usually around 0.5.
When fasting they can go a lot higher.
Edit to add.. this might of course because I am having so much protein.. lightbulb moment.. but I'm afraid I enjoy carnivory too much to stop!
I miss my brain cells too. I look in my cals and carb bookwait.....................have I missed this, or forgotten this?

But in Type 1's I thought that ketoacidosis requires high ketones and very high blood sugars (no insulin)?Last time I tested it was 0.7, not all that good really.

Not sure, it's something I'm going to check out with the consultant next week. From what I have gleaned, my 4.8 put me into what is called starvation ketosis but not ketoacidosis. I just wasn't eating enoughBut in Type 1's I thought that ketoacidosis requires high ketones and very high blood sugars (no insulin)?

Steve Phinney and Jeff Volek (who have published the vast majority of research on nutritional ketosis) advocate 1.2-1.7g/kilo per day. You shouldn't eat that all at once- split it up into your meals. Too much protein WILL kick you out of ketosis, but at the same time, you want enough to maintain your lean mass.I've read that to get into ketosis, you have to watch the amount of protein you eat. I've also read that it should be limited to 1g per kilo of weight. Any thoughts on this please? @bulkbiker you seem to be the person who knows lots about this, any ideas?
