Bumped out of ketosis today! Why?

[wrldcitizen]

Hi! I am still on OWL Rung 1 and my ketone strips show that I not in Ketosis today.

I think I might have exceeded my cream allowance by 1-2 tbs yesterday + I am a week away from my period.

I just wanted to know if any of you have been bumped out of ketosis out of the blue while still eating 25 net carbs?

What's the quickest way to get back in?

Thanks

Re: Bumped out of ketosis today! Why?

You can be in ketosis even when ketostix don't become pink/purple. Ketostix only measure the concentration of excess ketones (actually, only of acetoacetate, which is one of the three kinds of ketones) spilled over into urine. If your body uses all the acetoacetate for energy or converts it into other type of ketones, then you will have no excess left to pee and there will be no change in the color of the ketostix.

Do you still have the physical signs of ketosis: reduced appetite, thirst, increased energy, different urine and/or breath and/or sweat odor?
