| Re: CKD cutting
You must have fat on a keto diet, but if you can help it, keep it restricted to unsaturated fats. You can get away with a burger or sausage, but you will get better results and better general health if you keep it to mostly flax oil, olives, fatty fish, natural nut butters etc. The 20-30g carbs/day is a guideline. It's usually low enough to reach ketosis by the second or third day, but you might try ketostix just to be sure (note: they are not 100% accurate, but they can be helpful). If you keep carbs on keto days limited to a couple servings of fibrous veggies, you should have nothing to worry about. Also, make sure you have a calorie deficit. Even a keto diet will not work if you are eating more than you burn.
