Hello,
I completed a VLCD and lost 90lbs. In coming out of the diet I chose to stay in ketosis. I currently eat less than 30 grams of carbs /10 net, 139-150 grams of protein a day and 90 grams of fat per day.
In testing both my fasting blood glucose I see a rise in the morning in a faster state of 85-104. This drops throughout the day with eating. This is normal to my knowledge. However, unless I take MCT or eat fat my ketones never register. Even when I exercise my ketones don’t register. I’m no longer loosing weight but have increased my calories. Why is it that my ketones never register unless I take in external fats or BHB salts? My sodium intake is about 4grams per day.
Thank you
