Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guzzler" data-source="post: 2012865" data-attributes="member: 408573">Being 'kicked out of ketosis' is not something to be scared of even for those who chase ketones (chasing ketones refers usually to people like body builders or sometimes those who do not really understand the concept).  Some people reach ketosis at 30g per day and others find they must go sub 20g to see ketones.At the begining, once someone has decided to address and use dietary management to improve outcomes I feel that priority should be given to bg numbers and the downgrading of frequency and levels of insulin response.  Then, if one wishes, one can aim for ketosis using 'well formulated ketogenic diet' Prof. Steve Phinney. However, going straight to a ketogenic diet has its benefits.  The time it takes to beat carb craving is shorter and bg levels may respond more quickly.  The decision is yours, both LCHF and Ketogenic diets are safe* and with regard to changing one's metabolism our ancestors did it all the time, switching from fat storage mode to fat burning mode along with seasonal food sources.*A very low carb or ketogenic diet is not recommended for those on SGLT2 inhibitor medications.</blockquote>
