Would Love Some Advice
I have been on keto for one week today. I have used the Carb Manager app and have stuck to the keto guidelines strictly. I started testing my ketones with test strips over the weekend. The highest I’ve gotten is about 1.0/1.5. It’s now gone back down to “trace.” I’ve not experienced ketone flu symptoms. I’m 40 years old, 5’0” and 193 lbs. I am an attorney so I don’t get much exercise at work, but I have a 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter so I run after them evenings and weekends. My husband is doing keto with me, and his ketones keep going up. Can anyone give me any advice of what I might be doing wrong? I can answer more specific questions as you have them... thank you so much I’m advance; I’m becoming frustrated.

What are your macros set at?

This is my second time doing keto. I lost 30 lbs in 6 months. I did not get the flu until the beginning of my second month. I just started again and still nothing. Check your macros and make sure they are correct. Have you lost any weight since you started?

My macros are set at 25g net carbs, 123g fat and 99g protein. I am often not quite hitting my fat or protein totals though. I come close.
