Just to clarify, Kay, it's not just restricting carbs that puts you into ketosis, it's getting your calories from primarily FAT. 200g of protein is not 'bad' for you, but it's not doing Induction correctly, either.

To make you feel full and to help satiate you, you need more FAT, not fatty protein or fat with protein, but more FAT. Have normal sized portions of protein, but use more mayo, butter, olive oil, have half an avocado.

Not getting TOM can be from not eating enough - but that takes a while to happen (and eating 2300 calories is not starving yourself )

Not getting TOM or having it messed up when you start LCing is due to fat being released from your fat cells - fat cells contain hormones as well, and releasing them with the fat causes the balance to change. TOM returns in a few months when fat loss slows down.

I am confused though, are you doing Atkins or Neanderthin?
