Do you actually go into ketosis with lower fat and higher protein—or are you just following a low-carb diet?

Hello and Happy New Year! People DO go into ketosis, they use urine strips to test for ketones. I don’t know if I ever have because I never checked. I know that can be a problem for T1 Diabetics and they have to read more about this.

We have been following a very low carb, higher protein, medium fat diet. Starting up again after the holidays I want to switch up a bit and lower the protein “requirements” for the plan we’ve been following, go to more Paleo than Keto.

BUT - the general principal of lower carbs whether it’s Atkins, Keto or Paleo absolutely works.
