Very low ketones after 2 months strict carnivore (self.carnivore)

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

My partner (36 XX) is two months in to very strict carnivore, eating exclusively beef mince and grass fed butter. Total intake is 1-1.5kg been mince and 200-300g butter per day. The only beverage is water or Powerade (sugar free, acesulfame K, sucralose).

Her ketones on a blood meter are consistently low, maxing out at 0.2 mmol/L today. She feels tired, fatigued, and has burning in muscles suggesting lactic acid being elevated.

Just looking to see if anyone has seen something similar and if so what the solution was? Thanks

You won't get good answers here. There is no moderation and the community is populated with anti-meat people.

If you want answers I recommend the reddit community https://old.reddit.com/r/zerocarb

I would recommend against the Powerade. Nothing with an ingredients label is part of a zerocarb/carnivore way of eating

Glad someone with a few brain cells is here. Didn't realize the community could just be spammed by others.

Thanks, mate. I really don't like that the moderator here does nothing at all
