Maybe they don’t know how! I’m trying to figure it out myself at the moment. Throw a dog a bone? (Bones should be Keto-friendly, right?)
Newbie with questions as prolific as bacon in a Keto diet!

Nah, it’s because they don’t have anything to point to, but want to blame everyone and everything for their own actions.
It’s easy, but not intuitive - just highlight the part you want to quote in the reply, and a box saying “quote” will pop up just above it. Hit that, and it’ll put the highlighted quote into the reply box below.

Jackie, there is a robot that conducts a course on the basics of how to navigate the forums. Just send a private message to “discobot,” and it will take you through it all. I found it well worth the time. There is even an advanced course, if you find yourself interested. The Discourse software is quirky, but well-designed, and it rewards efforts to get familiar with how things work.
P.S.—Welcome to the forums, and it seems you’re getting a baptism by fire!

Thank you - i wondered what that discobpt thing was about!
For today’s update: my Keto Mojo meter came
In the mail and I tried it. It says 0.8. I tried my first mini-fast today and I think I did pretty well! I skipped breakfast completely, so if you count sleeping, I went about 13 hrs without eating anything at all.
When I did eat, I had an avocado and then egg salad made from 4 eggs. I got very cold after eating and then VERY sleepy. Probably normal for a first fast in Keto, I’m hoping?
The hot flashes seem to be abruptly abating, too!
Also, if one were to give a (raw fed, meat only) puppy the Keto meter test, would they register as Keto? Not that i’m Thinking about doing that, just a random curiosity…

Unless you are sleep eating, sleeping absolutely counts as fasting. For extended fasts some people have trouble at the 18 th hour when hormones kick in that make you feel hungry, so some people start their fast after lunch so they just sleep through the hardest part.
And I would absolutely be thinking of testing the puppy’s ketones if I were you.

Probably not. It appears that human beings are one of the very few animals to be able to enter ketosis readily and easily.
My guess is that it may well have something to do with the size of our brains—fatty acids can’t cross the blood-brain barrier, but the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate can, and the brain loves it. Feeding a brain the size of ours is a challenge, apparently, and in the absence of glucose, we’d go unconscious without ketones. While dogs do well on a low-carb diet, perhaps they are able to manufacture enough glucose to keep their brains fed without ketones, for the most part, so they don’t need ketosis except in an emergency. This is all guesswork on my part, but I think they are sensible guesses.

Well, your guesswork is usually better than my best research!

Well, hold onto your wigs for today’s update, my beloved experts. It’s a doozy. Apparently my penchant for doing everything the hard way is following me into this WOE. I’m starting a new thread for the new issue.
