A question about ketosis

[FloydSeamus]

Hello everyone, i've been reading this forum for a while now, and this is my first post. I was wondering, how long after you eat something that you think might stop ketosis, will it take to show up on a metabostick. Meaning, if it took someone out of ketosis, when will it show up? 20 minutes? 1 hour, 2 hours? Anyone know the answer, or can anyone point me to the answer? Thank you all, and you all have been a great inspiration to me...

The first time I got knocked out of ketosis, was a sugar accident. (was told it was sugar free and it wasn't) I had the sugar rush and the headach with in 1/2 an hour.
The second time was because I ate too far over my carb level and knew when I woke up in the morning starved.
Hope that helps.
Welcome to the board, I hope you stay a while

Just to let you know that also happened to me quite alot when i first started atkins. I had not cleaned out my kitchen like i should have. But as far as your question, my situtation, it showed with in an hour. And believe me after restarted atkins a year later, i promised i would not mess up with the ketosis sticks again. But also to let you know, water also makes the colors change. Just wanted to let you know. If you have anymore question dont hesitate to pm me.

I had your same problem.. I would eat foods just because the stick was still pink. If you do that you will fail. I did. Only eat whats on the acceptable foods list! You will have so much success if you follow this plan to a t.
