I hope to get my SZ son to try keto when i get him back.
I have been doing it myself for about 3 weeks. I bought the keto test strips and am usually in the “small to moderate” range of 1.5 to 3.0. Im not hungary but i dont eat alot and sometimes its just easier to be carnivore as it is so simple . My plan is to convince him to eat what i eat. Dr Palmer says test, test, test, test, always be testing so i test about every other time i pee. Im just saying these details in case someone else wants to try. It requires REALLY eliminating all the sugars and carbs from my diet. I read almost every lable now and dont eat any piece of candy or ice cream, no bread, no potatoes, no corn, no rice, mostly meat and salad ( whith at most 2 tablespoons of dressing). Ive lost about 10 lbs. I bought some MCT oil and but a squirt about 1 tablespoon in my coffee. It will give to diareahea but it keeps things moving through me. If anyone else is trying this with thier SZ I would like to hear how its going.

Hello, I was trying Keto for my son. I was ordering the food from a food delivery service. It was too much for me to cook food consistently. He started eating the food and stopped. I got him to eat it for maybe too weeks and with his condition I was unable to test. I was reading about Dr. Palmer also. I hope this works for you guys. I would love an update if it does. I’ll try again if it really works.
My son is still in jail so i cant work with him right now on it. I am doing keto myself to learn how to do it so i will be ready when i get the chance, and do it with my SZ son. This is not supposed to be done without a medical professional oversight but im doing it myself right now. Ive noticed ive drifted into almost a carnivior diet because once ive established ketosis i dont get hungary. It is quite hard to believe. So just cooking meat a few times a day makes it so easy, but i still get salads with my meat when i eat out or at my girlfriend’s house.
Testing is very simple with the “pee strips” and i found them cheap on amazon.
