Mr. X in the ckd manual you write
"Now, I know, I know. You want to know how to do this the easy way. Because, what I’ve just shown beforehand is probably damn complicated. So, here is a simple rule-of-thumb way to break down your Ketosis ratios:
1)Set calories at: 12 cal/lb
2)Set protein intake: typically 0.9 g/lb. Protein has 4 cal/gram
3)Set fat intake: take protein calories and subtract them from total calories, then divide by 9 to get grams of fat.
In practice, most people end up eating about 1 gram of fat for every gram of protein. Ketosis almost always establishes with 1/1 ratios. (fat/protein -grams-) "
Does this mean that in setting up a ckd i could use this rule of thumb for my 6 days of ketosis (while varying my calories from day to day)? Or do i need those first few days of protein at abut 15% of cals to actually reach ketosis before i can use the simplified formula?
I am just asking for sake of knowledge, my keto is set up to your guidelines.
Thanks for everything
