CKD and ketone monitoring

[looking to lean]

well all that being said (and thanx very much guys. you are all a wealth of knowledge and info).

I made it into ketosis this morning... my keto stix finally got off the beige and went pink.

still refining the diet to something I can stand to eat everyday.... but this was the break down

Cals 2840
========
Fat 164g
Carb 79g
Protein 249g

I know the carbs are too high and the fats too low, but regardless I hit ketosis. 50g of carbs were from the 2 kiwis and mango juice I had after my workout. I was feeling so drained.... obviously my body was doing the switch to ketones.

Today I will eat far more fat and less carbs. You think Im doing too much cardio? I have $3700 Precor 5.33 eliptical.. believe me... Im using it as much as possible.

285lbs x12 = 3420BMR +550cals workout +550cals cardio (sometimes 300cals walking the disc golf course of 3kms)

4820cals today burnt in a day... yikes... thats alot of cals. I guess I should recalculate my weight every week or so?

good job. ckd's are tough to stick with. as for the weight recalculation every week, i've been told to do that every 2 weeks as to not drop the calories too quick. but wait for ghede to answer for the better info.

now that Im in Ketosis, Ive found that Im being very snappy/short in silly situations. Im not at all like that normally. I rarely get mad about anything. I suppose this is normal when changing diets and cutting carbs....?

I dropped something on the floor I yelled 'fuck!' real loud... not like me at all.

It takes me about 16-17 hours to get into keto.

I know I'm in keto when my ass is about to blow
