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.
Oh, I know that—I’ve been there, with keto strips and all.
But it seems like a lot of people here are conflating keto and Paleo/low-carb.
Both can lead to weight loss, but with different body processes and resulting weight-loss speed (other than the first few days of water weight loss).
And happy New Year!
