    How long after cheat?

    Just out of curiosity, if you cheat and eat a lot of carbs, how long does it take until you are back into ketosis mode? I'm not planning on it or anything, just a question that came to mind!

      Typically it's 2-3 days. But it throws your whole body off key and added water weight. Very difficult to start again once even off the diet for as little as a hour. I can't say how many times I allowed myself to cheat and stay off the diet. Not worth it.

        Usually 1 or 2 days for me. I some times have gotten into ketosis on the first day of induction.

          Btw, what is everyone using to find out if they're in ketosis?

            I cheated 2 weekends ago. During induction it took me a little less than two days to get into ketosis. After the cheat, it took me more than 4 days! So by the time I got back to the weight I was before the weekend, I had lost more than 10 days.

            I judge ketosis by ketostix AND physical signs (different smell in breath, lower appetite, etc.)

              Depends on the amounts of CHO's ingested. It can take from 1-3 days for the Ketostix to show a color change.
