Therapeutic
No one supported my low carb journey. I informed my medical providers I'd be coming off medications as symptoms reduced, but received no support. The low carb community became my external support system.
Integration
Started with 38% body fat. Monitored blood sugar and ketones daily for about a year. Takes MCT daily and still does. Tried exogenous ketones but didn't notice a difference.
Nutritional
70/20/10 macros, strict for 2 years then more flexible with higher carbs and protein. Mostly 16:8, with one full fast day per week and occasional OMAD. Allowed one special treat at celebrations.
Ketosis
I aimed for 1.0 mmol/L. I tested twice a day for about a year.
