Is it ok to be in ketosis on MJ?

Am 10 days in. Suppression is strong and my appetite is low. Have lost 10lbs (mostly weight prob but who cares). Have 2st more to lose.

I am eating a low carb high protein Mediterranean style diet as this is what works for me (I get so bloated eating even small amounts of refined carbs) so not high fat keto.

Checked my wee today and I'm in moderate ketosis. Feel really fantastic (apart from the savoury burps, wtf is that about!).

Anything I should be aware of if combining MJ with low carb? Has anyone else done this?

of course it is, you’re eating a completely healthy diet 😊

I ate bread and refined carbs (very small amounts) while on MJ but now I’ve got to goal weight I’ve found myself going without it for even lower inflammation. They just don’t agree with me and I’m going very low UPF as it was probably about 40% of my diet (apparently teenagers get 80% of their calories from upf)

im already feeling great 3 weeks in

You are using fat as your primary energy source so you will be ketotic. This is fine unless you have type 1 diabetes.

Thanks all.

Are you still using MJ to maintain @LaurieFairyCakeor have you come off it?

I've recently been diagnosed with adenomyosis so inflammation is another reason for me trying to avoid crap food. My symptoms are already improving 🙌 .

Yes, have to use it forever as my maintenance calories are 1000. But that’s fine by me. I’ve been at goal 3 months I think and I haven’t yet gone to fortnightly doses but I’m considering it.

I found the same OP, mild to moderate ketosis in general, low appetite. I have been having some hydration drinks as think that might be w good thing when not eating much. / in ketosis. Electrolytes.
