Gyro meat?

[DidHasCheezburger]

Hey, I'm on my sixth day of induction. I was doing ok until yesterday--I went to a restaurant with some friends and figured I was safe with a gyro, hold the pita, sauce, and tomatoes. Afer I ate, however, I felt weird and light-headed. When I got home, I went online and found out that some people use breadcrumbs as filler in the gyro. (My grandma, originally from Greece and an amazing cook would be horrified--I thought I was safe because I've helped her make gyros many times and the only things we used were meat and herbs.)

Anyway, as I've consumed who knows how many carbs--what do I do now? Just continue with induction? I'm going to work out extra today, hopefully that will help?

Re: Gyro meat?

The light-headness MIGHT be due to some carbs, or it might be due to msg that they put in the meat. If you've been in induction for 6 days your body may be cleaned out of all of those preservatives and just reacting to something added.

I would just drink a ton of water today, do a good workout, and proceed with induction. Do you have any sense that you fell out of ketosis? If so, you could just add some fat today and tomorrow.

Frankly, it's hard to get out of ketosis once you're in. I know people think that if they gain a pound one day, they have, but that's just water.

Hey, thanks Evermind--good thinking on the MSG, I bet that was part of it.

And, regardless of whether or not the gyro had breadcrunbs, today my ketosis strip turned PINK! Light pink, it matched the "small" indicator on the bottle, but this is the first time it was pink!

And here I am all excited about peeing on a piece of paper AND telling y'all about it
