I think I found out my secret to quick ketosis. I cook with coconut oil. It's the only safe fat to cook with at high temperatures. I use it for eggs, mostly, but I also fry cheese in it (as a snack).
Evidently, the coconut oil is a MCT (medium chain triglyceride) and it has all types of benefits, one being an increase in ketones. It gives me energy like I haven't had since I was a cheerleader in school!! -and with 4 kids and a husband, I need all the energy I can get-
I googled "ketogenic diet healthy fats" and found out about it. Coconut oil was listed at the top. It's a little high-priced, $7 for a jar of solid fat (looks like Crisco), but cooking with it is fabulous because it doesn't burn or taste at all.
Well, keep up the good work. Glad to speak with you!!
