Just wondering if it is possible to be in ketosis by the end of the first day on Atkins? I am back from slipping, I have some water weight gain and I am trying to correct my back sliding before I am bigger than ever. So today is my first day back on a nice clean 2 week induction and for the heck of it I tested with one of my keto stix and it says I am in ketosis. Could this be?

Re: Ketosis already?
It depends what your degree of metabolic resistance is and how many carbs you had in your system.

Georgiana,
Hi...what do you mean by metabolic resistance?Comment

Re: Ketosis already?
This is a number you determine based on the weight loss you had in the first two weeks and it correlates with your resistance to lipolysis/ketosis. After you know your degree of metabolic resistance, you will be able to estimate the maximum amount of carbohydrates you can eat in order to keep losing weight (your Critical Carbohydrate Level for Losing, or CCLL) or to maintain (your Critical Carbohydrate Level for Maintenance, or CCLM). You can find this in Chapters 13, 14 and 17 in "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" (2002). The same information is summarized here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-ace-ccll.htmlOriginally posted by hamoverfist View Post"Get action. Seize the moment.
