Cream Cheese and Almonds Jumpstart

[CBell444]

The only thing that "jumpstarts" ketosis is limiting carbohydrate intake and while increasing fat intake. It's the ratio of fat to carb intake that gets you into ketosis.

I think I've always feared the fat before and maybe that's why I didn't go into ketosis or lose very quickly. I also realize that I had carb-creep-amundo. I'm sticking to very real food and fitdaying everything this time around.

Is there a rule of thumb for a good fat to carb ratio? Today my food came out to an even 65 Fat - 5 Carb - 30 Protein.

Thanks,
c

Rule of Thumb is 65/30/5 -- this is something to strive for...not set in stone.

you are on induction - why do you think you are at a plateau? Stick to the plan the way it is written and the weight will come off....there is no way to cheat the system and make the weight come off quicker -- do the plan and it will happen.

heya, thanks y'all for the information. i do not think i'm at a plateau at all. i'm only on day 2! i just saw the percentages mentioned and didn't remember that from the book. i'm willing to be patient this time.
