Can’t get into ketosis
Hi. I started my Keto diet about a month ago. I am a 65M. I stay under 25 grams of carbs every day. I lost about 8 pounds the first couple of weeks, but none since. Also, I have tested via blood monitor and strips and at best I am 1.2 or barely in ketosis if at all. Any suggestions? Thanks

Are you eating enough fat? How many calories per day?

Anything above 0.5 is considered nutritional ketosis so hang in there. In my opinion 1.2 is a great reading. I am giving myself at least 100 days to adapt properly. Most of the positive experiences I have read about were beyond 6 months of keto. I would take it as a lifestyle change and just stick with it.

Not sure. I’ve mainly just looked at carbs.

Looks like I’m at 81% of fat and 91% of protein

I’m under my projected calories too. But I’m not exercising.
