[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2615639, member: 506169"] Like [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] I don't believe in Keto for Keto's sake. I wonder where you you that 70% from. I don't have a daily target for Protein or Fat, just a range for carbs which is between 20gms per day and 40gms per day for me and is based upon my BG Meter. 40gms being around the highest my body will easily handle and 20gm being something to help me l if/when I notice a slight weight gain. You may have seen things like this ********************************************************************************************************************************************* Generally, popular ketogenic resources suggest an average of [B]70-80% fat from total daily calories[/B], 5-10% carbohydrate, and 10-20% protein. For a 2000-calorie diet, this translates to about 165 grams fat, 40 grams carbohydrate, and 75 grams protein. ******************************************************************************************************************************************** But unless you are well under-weight, once you have adjusted to low Carb, your body will use body fat just the same a dietary fat. So if you need more fat to produce Ketones for energy, your body fat will be used . It's possible for obese people to just use body fat for energy for longer than just days , so that 70% of calories used being from fat could theoretically be as low as 0% from diet and 70% from body fat! I need to fast for medical procedures (fasting for 3 days continuous every 2 yrs) while I do that I'm in ketosis though I'm eating zero calories because I'm using up body fat. Keto Breath isn't really a good thing - It shows that you body isn't using all/most of the ketones it produces. When you are fully 'fat adapted' you are either in Ketosis or able to switch in and out of it with several times per day without any noticeable effect apart from not actually getting hungry - so fasting or skipping meals becomes easy. Then you only eat when you want to, not because you have to. Even if you are keen on Keto, I think 3 weeks is too soon to be considering reducing carbs to below 20gms per day - which is what it takes (on average) to be in continuously in Ketosis. This is partly because the body needs time to adjust (both to Ketosis and to lower Blood Glucose which can cause temporary vision problems if reduced too fast). [/QUOTE]
