Too much protein will not allow you to stay in ketosis, it's called gluconeogenisis, not that higher protein with ultra low carb does not work for weight loss it's just not allowing your body to use ketones effectively as its converting protein to glucose for energy
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.
