Hey Keto Fam. I’ve been “Keto” for two days based on macros, calories have been a little higher than they should be, protein a little low. But, those damn Keto pee strips say trace or no. Thoughts?

The pee strips mean nothing. Ignore it.

Don’t worry about calories when you’re just starting out. Keto can be a big adjustment in the beginning. Definitely focus on protein, though: it’s a goal, whereas fat is optional.

I find it helpful to supplement lean proteins (eg, egg whites, chicken breast, protein powder) when I’m running out of calories and still need the protein. You can even go a bit over with protein — it won’t break ketosis.

I plan to stick with it and keep trying, but it’s super demotivating.

Trace on the strips is still something. It can take people anywhere from 2 to 7 days to get into ketosis

2 days might not be long enough, give it a little more time as IBM said

I want to do work that makes a difference. ☹️
