2 days into CKD, No Ketones in urine

[tuc biscuit]

I must admit I'm no guru, but a few things I don't like the look of are; The polish sausages, there may be hidden carbs there. Just almonds for two meals in a row, and the 35g protein shake may cause insulin spike, therefore taking you out of ketosis.

Also, you would be better walking briskly for 45mins-1hr imo than running a mile which must be about 8-10 mins max.

How much water you drinking?

Im taking in about 2 gallons of water, I keep my jogging slow, keep my HR under 125.

Im not positive about my BF, got it calculated at ballys with the thing you put your hands on. I did it on 3 different occasions, got 4.3, 4.8, 5.2%. Sounds wrong to me, but there is a 3%margin of error, so i estimate it at 8%.
I had a six pack this summer but my bulking diet gave me a little fat. I am very lean, can see a 4 pack but the bottom will not show through. there are stubborn fat pockets im trying to get rid of with yohimburn and get more vascular looking in general.
Im not going into competition, but i just like to look my best all the time.

Tuc is right. Almonds are NOT your best choice for nutts. Check the sasauge for hidden carbs, such as dextrose, & corn syrup (commonly added). 35 grams of whey protien with no additional fat will probably kick you out of ketosis.

Your BMR caloric intake: 165 x12 = 1980

You're taking in: 756 calories

you're in starvation my friend; plus, the almonds are too many carbs in one sitting

I would suggest you revise your meal plan to increase calories, decrease carbs and increase the overal intake-vs-output.

You will have a problem w/ or w/o ketosis if you eat so little food; most likely you'll be in starvation and wont lose body fat.

My bag of walnuts says it has 3 grams of total carbs, and 3 grams of fiber, thus making them 0 carbs. My almonds say 6 grams of carbs total, 5 from fiber, thus making them 1 carb. How is that too many carbs for one sitting?

Not all bags tell you the truth....remember, a walnut can be lacking the crucial skin that creates the fiber; thus, making it more carbs.

My thought is that maybe you are eating too few calories, and perhaps burning up ketones for energy before they have a chance to show up in your urine. It generally takes me a good 72 hours to show ketones on ketostick. Make some better food choices. I have found that coral calcium really helps me with energy output, and constipation issues. Just a thought...

hmm i did not start on ckd
i started on atkins
and the first two weeks i consumed less than 20 g carbs a day
and nuts were not allowed til after induction
and a limit on sausages and bacon....nitrites are said to kick you out of ketosis
mind you i NEVER was in deep ketosis according to the ketostix
but never the less i lost weight (48 pounds) and several inches around my waist
i suggest cutting on the nuts for a while and go for salads while taking 2 tablspoons of flaxseed oil
8 polish sausages! you trying for ripley's or guiness book of records?
ham sausage once or twice a week
chicken, beef, pork, lamb, mutton, salmon, tuna, mackerel, eggs, hard cheeses
give that a try

not 8 sausages, 8:00 oclock i had a polish sausage.
Maybe i went wrong with the nuts but ill see tomorrow when i test again.

If you get kicked out of ketosis, how hard is it to get back in.

Today i took some muscle milk after my workout, 30p 10c 18fat. do you think that would of kicked me out, i used 300mg ALA before consuming this.
