I've been doing a very low carb, high fat, and moderate protein diet for 6 days now. My meals are basically 40-50 grams protein and 75 grams fat (no CHO basically), 3 times a day. Granted, it varies a little with the protein and fat. Should I be measuring blood ketones and blood glucose first thing in the AM only, or at any time? 2 hours after lunch today my ketones were .2 and blood glucose was 110. My first thought is this sucks and maybe I ate too much protein that meal, but perhaps it's just too early in the process to judge and make adjustments? Any thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance.
Note, I'm 221, about 20-25% bf I think, but very active, if it matters.
