[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1054036, member: 6467"] As far as I know you can go into ketosis and stay there without any outward signs. You can test your urine using Ketostix but lack of ketones does not mean that you are not in ketosis. If you are in a balanced state of ketosis your body uses all the ketones for fuel. Only if you produce too many ketones will you see them in your urine. The only way to know is to test your blood for ketones - finger prick like BG testing but the meter and the test strips are more expensive.. As mentioned in other threads, too much protein can also take you out of ketosis because some of it can be processed into glucose. So I think you need to go low carb, medium protein and high fat. I don't see much fat in your diet (why the half cream and not full cream?) so you are probably not really on a ketogenic diet if you are overdosing on protein but not eating much fat. [/QUOTE]
