Hey /fit/, would this diet allow me to enter ketosis?
I have been contemplating eating 2 chicken breasts a day, one for breakfast and one for dinner. I know that chicken is right for a ketogenic diet, and 2Tbsp of ranch with each breast would be another 145cal each (94% fat, 5% carbs, 1% protein).
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but I feel that that is a great way to enter ketosis. I would appreciate help. Thank you.
Chicken thign instead, cheaper, fatter, taste better

Wouldn't the fat of the thigh bar me from losing more weight? If I could enter keto from my original idea, why do this? Pls respond

The idea of keto is you eat fat to lose fat. I know how it sounds but it goes something like this: your body regards fat more valuable than carbs/sugar, so only if you have excess fat would your body be willing to spend it.
The fat you consume keeps you energetic and if you are at a deficit, your body draws energy from stored fat, hence losing weight.
Also you tend to eat less/less hungry from eating fatty food.
Be sure to either include some broccoli or other fibrous green vegetable, or Metamucil. Take a multi-vitamin, too.
