I was in ketosis every day and I kept strictly under 20 carbs (basically stayed in ketosis).

Now that I am through menopause, I am having more success -- maybe because my hormones are more stable. But I have had to incorporate intermittent fasting with ketosis in order to lose weight. I've also lowered my protein intake and increased my fat moderately.


Thanks for the response. Did you start losing fat after 3 mo in ketosis or did you have to do IF in order to do so? What is 23:1 -- 23 hours of fasting 3 days a week?? I'm terrified of fasting based on extreme attempts when I was younger.

Your stats are so impressive and very inspiring! Thanks again for sharing.
