    OUCH! 9th day.....ketones are down...

    Hey
    I took some Nyquil for the last 3 days and it must have had sugar in it. I am on my 9th day and 2.5 lbs weight loss. I noticed the ketone went from moderate to pink..
    There must have been sugar in that medicine...Do I have to start all over or do I just keep on going on induction and go into extended induction??

    I'm new at this and a little confused..

    Thanks!

    just keep going

    remember being in ketosis is like being preggo either you are or you aren't amount isn't important.

    your numbers for determining your CCLL and your metabolic type from the charts in DANDR will be off but since you know that don't worry about what they say about you. next time read the label and ask the pharnm folk for diabetic approaved meds.

    Also when your immune system is active your blood sugar can get knocked around so watch for some cravings from out of no where.

            Thanks! for the tips 2BIg and Sillygirl.

            It's like you have to be a detective on these foods in the store. I read that label on the medicine, but it didn't have the ingredients.....NOT good.

            Thanks again..

                Most meds always have the ingredients! Sometimes very tiny, but they're there and you need to be conscientious when looking or you'll sabatoge your loss efforts with hidden sugars.

                  After reading 2big's last post....you really need to watch for anything ending in "ose"...that usually means sugar of one variety of another.

                      I always get the cold and flu mediations (liquid, like cough medicine) that are designed for diabetics. Ask your pharmacist.

                        The sugar in nyquil isn't the only culprit undermining your ketosis: ALCOHOL. Your body stops burning fat until the alcohol is metbolised.
                        Since your stix still read pink, though, you really haven't done any harm, just decreased the weight loss for the day.

                        There are a LOT of other products out there with the same active ingredients, individually or in combinations, without the fructose sugar or alcohol, in capsules, tablets, strips, and gels besides syrups formulated for diabetics.

                            Hey Sillygirl,

                            THanks too for that tip about the ose. I have been really struggling so hard to stay away from sugar that was a hard blow to hear about the
                            "High Fructose"

                            I will be looking at all lables and at those "ose" on the lables.

                            Thanks1!

                              actually alcohol metabolic byporducts will mistakenly test as ketones on strips too so you can be totally out of ketosis and not know it.

                              Just get the sugar free stuff from now on. but We all hope you are feeling better.
