[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2061222, member: 468714"] Hi again [USER=505090]@sudsandsoda[/USER] if you look up dietdoctor.com you will see that people tend to suffer from what is called ketoflu when they change their main metabolism from sugar to fat burning. And that tends to occur in the forst week on a very low carb diet. And the explanation if this time also includes the fact that as insulin doses fall according to the lowering of carbs so we retain less sodium and magnesium. Thus increase in sodium say by eating saltier food or adding salt and using magnesium supplements help to ease the flu and stop the longlasting tiredness. But in your case i agree with [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER], to gain weight insulin is needed. And the usual thing is to also allow for the fact that 50% of the grams of protein eaten are counted as carbs. The more cheese you ate the more insulin would be needed. Being underweight could very well have reset your appetite but that increase in protein intake needed insulin, a tyoe of growth hormone, to be present. My understanding of ketones is that as long as one is hydrated and has sufficient insulin on board that nutritional ketosis as it is called is not dangerous , but you need perhaps to discuss that further with your health team. It certainly sounds like any ketosis should not be aimed at achieving weight loss in your current state and i infer this may be what your health team is telling you. Whether you are totally unsuited to liw carb/ keto diet in the future is a moot point. Lots of TIDs survive quitecwell on such diets longterm. I susoect your health team may not see mant Tids on such diets. They seem almost nervous of such diets. At least that is my sense of what you describe. Low carb diet is variously defined as eating less than 120 g carbs per day, but my understanding from people like Dr Bernstein is that when one gets below 30 g carbs per day, counting 50% of grams of protein as carbs becomes important. Before low carb and keto diet became popular i gather few people realised that insulin made the body retain sodium. So now the fact that type 2 diabetics have excess insulin releases at thevwring tine helps explain why they may suffer from high blood pressure as sodium retention can kead to raised blood pressure. So for us and any health professionals who have bothered to remove blinkers and read up and even learn from patients. The effects of low carb/ keto diet can hold some surprises. [/QUOTE]
