7 Days and STILL haven't gotten to Ketosis !

[glorium3]

Good morning everyone -

I'm new on the "diet" . I haven't cheated at all --- started 7 days ago and
I'm still NOT in Ketosis - I'm 1/2 way between moderate to heavy
on the chart on the bottle. What am I doing wrong? I've only lost 4 lbs. and I'm getting very discouraged. I've been eating the same menu everyday.


Menu:

Breakfast - hard boiled eggs and bacon and cheese

Lunch - tuna salad and 2-3 pieces of cheese, salad, sugar free jello
with whipped cream

Supper - roast turkey with mayo or Hebrew National all beef hot dogs and
sugar free jello with whipped cream

Evening snack - small amount of cheese and bacon, sugar free jello
and whipped cream



I cut out the salad on day 5 and still the dip stick reads the same !

If your sticks are reading between moderate and heavy you are most definately in Ketosis. Any color change (i.e. anything other than 'negative') means you are in Ketosis. You have already lost 4 poundsin the first week, that should show you in and of itself.

If you want to go a little faster though, cut the cheese and whipped cream out of the diet. Those can slow some people if eaten too much.

your diet sounds good, but try to leave out some whip cream. you are doing good if you've lost 4 lbs already. remember to drink LOTS and LOTS of water the first 2 weeks. You'll realize that most of the weight you lose the first 2 weeks WILL be water (just like any diet), however, with this diet, you will lose MORE inches than actual weight. So, don't fret about getting on the scale and seeing you've only lost a few pounds.

I've lost only 14 pounds, but have notice that I've gone from a size 18 to size 14 in these 2 1/2 months.

This diet does show results. Vary your diet so you don't eat the same thing everyday , that way you won't be tired and bored of the same thing.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 bacon, and sausage

Lunch: Chicken salad with ranch or Caesar dressing (0 or 1 carb!!!)

Dinner: Grilled chicken/pork chops/shrimp with a side veggie and small salad

snacks: pork rinds with cream cheese, cheese cubes, vienna sausage, string cheese, etc.
