4 days into CKD and still not in ketosis??

[Spunky]

i am eating around 220-250g of fat a day.. 90-100g of protein, and 20g of carbs. the carbs come from cheese and almonds so im not sure how to get much lower then 20g of carbs.. cheese and almonds make up a good portion of my fat so im not sure how to cut those out of my diet.

i need some ideas for things to eat... i am running out of ideas. i am eating alot of sausage, bacon (both w/ 0 carbs), tuna w/ regular mayo, salads (just cheese and regular ranch), almonds, and sliced cheese. What else can i eat?

cut back on the almonds and maybe try getting some good oils in your diet (if you haven't already).

sort of off topic, I'm wondering if your protein intake is too low, bump for opinions.

Yeah....I wouldn't want to keep that fat intake up all week.....that is alot for the body to burn even in ketosis.

FINALLY IN KETOSIS!! hell i may have been in and it just wasn't registering because of all the water im drinking... i cut back on the water for about 2-3 hours and after i ate supper i waited 30 minutes and tested.. i showed small amounts of ketones.

Chicken breast in olive oil properly spiced is another good meal idea.
