Introduction/Summary.
History of the Ratio Diet
* Concept
* Original 1920s ratio
* Simplified ratio
* [[Net Carbohydrates]]
* Other restrictions – calorie intake and minimum protein intake
* Limitations – on calorie restriction body fat will be burned, producing more ketones than predicted by the ratio.
=Other things that effect ketone levels=
* The type of fat impacts ketone levels – mono/polyunsaturated higher than saturated, except for [[MCT]].
* The timing of food intake can impact ketone levels.
* Those with little or no body fat, especially children, may run out of available fat and start to burn muscle, which will drop ketone levels.
* Carbohydrate can be absorbed via the skin from suntan lotion (sunscreen), lipstick or soap.
* Toothpaste contains carbohydrate.
* Processed foods can contain up to 0.9g carbohydrate per serving while declaring "0g carbohydrate", and other rounding can occur, so if in doubt stop taking all processed foods to troubleshoot unexpectedly low ketone levels.
* Medications can contain carbohydrate, especially liquid formulas
* IV medication sometimes contains glucose (this is mostly an issue for children being treated for epilepsy with the ketogenic diet).
