Hi,

I am 10 days into LCHF, and tracking with MFP, having carbs averaging below 40 g per day.

I bought a blood test meter and some ketosis and glucose strips because I was curious about my progress.

I've taken readings the past 2 days, and find my ketones are measuring 0.6 and my glucose 3.8. I'm reading that as fringe nutritional ketosis and normal fasted glucose level.

After reading a few accounts of adaptation, I was thinking I should be further along with the ketone levels after 10 days.

Other factors here are that after the first couple of days I had tons of energy, then in the middle days I had brain fog, which was then joined an then overtaken by muscle weakness. Brain fog gone, muscle weakness nearly gone now.

I've lost about 4 pounds and 1 inch from the waist.

I'm wondering - should I lower my carbs? I'm really happy with the diet at my level of 40 per day.

Thanks

J
