Why I don’t get into Ketosis?
Hi! I having doing 100 days of carnivore diet (O carbs) and intermittent fasting mostly 16:8 and some days 24 hs and I started to measure my ketones levels in my blood and even after running my glucose is 113 mg/dl and my ketones 0,3 mmo/l!! I can’t understand it!!
Before this diet I have been doing paleo diet very low carb (no starch vegetables and zero fruits) and my training was similar (running swimining and weightlifting).
In this sense, I would like to clear up what would be happening in my body? Maybe I am producing glucose through glucogenesis and that is preventing me from producing ketones? If so I should restrict my protein intake as well? My regular macros are mostly 58/60% fat 42/40% from protein but this last two days when I started to measure my ketones levels I eat 81% fat anf 19% protein.
Thanks!!
