Tell that to the ketostiks I was peeing on every day..they indicated dark purple 160ng/dL full blown ketosis
you know...there is difference between reading about something and actual having an experience with it
I DONT ADVOCATE THIS DIET ...I post the following to support ketosis without added fat
This is the diet I followed 30 years ago...I tested my ketones EVERY day

I'll summarize it for you:
"It’s also a diet that forces the body into ketosis, which is what happens when glucose isn’t a primary fuel source for the body."
Normally the body uses glucose as a fuel source which comes from carbohydrates. When deprived, there is a switch to ketones which are the body’s backup source."
The diet requires eating 6 small meals a day and it recommends the following foods for the initial 1st phase:
• Lean chicken, beef, veal, turkey, eggs, and fish. (even the skin of chicken must be removed before cooking and not eaten)
• Spices, herbs, tabasco sauce, pepper, and salt.
• Tea, coffee, and diet soda.
• 8 glasses of water a day are necessary.
• Fats, oils, condiments, and butter are NOT allowed.
. It also bans any kinds of fruits, carbohydrates vegetables, oils, sugars, and fats.
