Hi @fradon - I was keto and paleo for about 8 years. it's what got me into this predicament in the first place. Being "fat adapted" simply means being "stress adapted" and that really isn't a long term possibility. It simply stresses the crap out of me. Furthermore, my insulin was never higher than when I was 'in ketosis'.. I can only assume due to the stress on the system.you will probably never lose weight with those macros....you are kind of paleo/keto but your carbs are still high either do peat or do keto but not both
your body has to power plants one that burns sugar the other burns fat...it is not easy for the body to switch back and fourth so either become fully fat adaptive or fully carb adabptive
you have to choose either to live on fat or live on carb if you play with both you will have massive insulin spikes that will keep you fat on and prevent fat burning.
ALWAYS REMEMBER INSULIN EQUALS FUEL STORAGE INCLUDING FAT
if you drop your carbs to like 10-15 grams then you will loose a lot of water weight from being in ketosis if your hormones are healthy then you will become fat adapted and burn fat
but what is your starting weight and your goal weight and what is your height?
Also- I think you may have misinterpreted the carb amounts- 225-230g of carb wouldn't really allow for keto unless I was extremely active.. as i've mentioned, my fat is higher than some people would recommend and I've tried to figure out ways to lower the fat and keep the protein and carbs appropriate while still eating food as opposed to meal sups or some other kind of frankenfood..
