How many days (appx) does it take to go back into ketosis if you fall out? Today I for some unconscious reason (habit) I came to work, got a cup of coffee and put two individual international delight creamers in the coffee AND I proceeded to drink it. I drank about 1/2 cup before I regained my senses. Even though I drank about 12 carbs, it was all sugar. It is amazing how many eating habits we are unaware of! This little feat of mine really depressed today. I am just going to trudge ahead like it never happened, but I know drinking it brought me out of Ketosis.

Re: Ketosis
Are you sure you're out of ketosis? Last time on atkins, I had a big slice of pizza (stupid), and was completely shocked the next morning to find my ketostick still purple! Not condoning cheating, maybe there's a possibility you haven't fallen out?
Coffee - I can't tell you how many times in the last couple of weeks I have subconsciously put milk and sugar in my coffee, and walked over to my office before realizing what I had done.

Re: Ketosis
Well, I'm no expert, but you can get back into ketosis within a couple of hours, so I've read. Sometimes it does take longer, like 2-4 days depending on your body. If you go to bodyspace.com, they have a lot of information on ketosis.
