    I am in Ketosis!

    After 3 days of 14 days-Induction to my surprise, I bought it today and tested it. And the color chart stated "Small of 15mg", which is in pink chart.

    I cheated on induction diet with a cup of wine celebrating the July 4th, and a cup of soy at bedtime yesterday. Those could take me out of Ketosis but I am still in Ketosis!!!

    Please explain!

    Re: I am in Ketosis!

    Some foods take a few days to be processed so your ketones might reflect this eating off plan later.

    However - wine has alcohol in it and the ketosticks register the residue from processing alcohol (acetones I think) as being the same thing as ketones. Your reading might be showing those acetones not any ketones!

    The whole process was highlighted in reverse recently when a commercial pilot was disciplined for showing alcohol in his system after testing positive but proved it was ketones as he had been on a lowcarb diet!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

      Hi there!

      Thank you. That was interesting! Wow, you did great with Atkins diet. How long did it take you to lose the weights on Atkins? It looks like it is best if I don't drink wine during the induction until I enter the second phase of Atkins diet.

      Thanks!

          It has taken me about 4 years so far. I started in June 2003!
          .It looks like it is best if I don't drink wine during the induction until I enter the second phase of Atkins diet.
          That is a good idea.
          When we drink alcohol our body uses it in preference to the other foods we eat, so we are likely to have a pause in weightloss for a day or so - for this reason many of us forgo drinking it while we are trying to lose weight!!
          Personally in the last 4 years I have only drunk two or three sips of sherry to toast my Mother on her 90th birthday, and shall not reintroduce alcohol (except for a small amount in cooking) till I have reached goal.
          The second phase of Atkins (Ongoing weight loss or OWL) lists various groups of foods in the order in which we are supposed to add them.
          Wine can be introduced in the 5th level/rung of OWL if you want to.
