I was diagnosed T2D three weeks ago.
Have gone low carb since then. I've had Keto breath a few times, but no Keto flu, which to me suggests I'm bouncing in and out of Ketosis.
I only found out yesterday that if you are properly following Ketogenic, you should aim for about 70% of your food to be fats. I had been going about 50% protein, 40% fat and 10%.
I'm now trying to move towards more fat and less protein - but I was wondering how much it affects a ketogenic diet? Can too much protein prevent weight loss? After a barnstorming first two weeks, I've lost nothing this week - feels a shame as in the last week, my net carbs have def been under 50g each. I swim for 30 mins a day, and have been in calorie deficit.
Advice on this, and suggestions for more fat and less protein ideas are much appreciated
