[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 127937, member: 18023"] The ketone strips have come down in price, at least that is what people say, but the "cheaper" strips are $1 each. As I understand Keto diet, if you don't eat enough fat then the excess protein you do eat converts to glucose via gluconeogenesis to supply you with fuel. If you don't eat enough fat, carbs nor protein, you start to break down muscle as well as fat stores for energy. You are suppose to limit your protein to 25% of total calories, maybe up to as much as 30% if you work out a lot, fat should be 70% of calories. I think a lot of people on a lower carb diet can slip in and out of ketosis. Like being on a low carb diet then exercising in the AM after not eating all night. But I think a lot of people only think they are in ketosis. Since I eat way to much protein and not enough fat, I doubt I very often get into ketosis. Once in a while bike riding it feels like some other energy source kicks in after 90 min. They say you can only eat 20-30 grams of carbs to get into ketosis, and it can take 1-10 days of doing that to get into ketosis. [/QUOTE]
