Many keto dieters have experienced an unwelcome rise in this number. To increase your overall success, it is important to maintain a healthy physical condition. Ketosis is a state where there isn’t enough glucose for the body to use as fuel. It's one of the many reasons I recommend at least 0.75 grams of protein per pound ideal body weight each day on keto, assuming you're not treating a disease with the diet. This means that your body will use fat stores instead of carbs for energy. Additionally, it could make you feel exhausted, less weak, hungry, and even more hungry.
