This is weird...

[sachet]

Okay today I drank like 5 16oz bottles of water and only went to the bathroom 3 times and I usually go way more than that. Also, I tend to check ketostix everyday and I always register but i didnt register today. I know you may be in ketosis and not register but i ALWAYS register on the sticks when in ketosis.

Here is what i ate today...
Breakfast
2 slices of bacon
spincah, egg, cheese omlette (2 eggs, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of spinach.

Snack
3 hot wings

Lunch
6 hot wings (Didnt have any veggies with that because i was pressed for time)

Dinner
Salmon
1/2 cup broccoli with cheddar cheese

Maybe this was the first time you didn't "register". Relying on the sticks is useless. They're just not reliable!

You could have had more vegetables at dinner to make up for the lack at lunch ... just a thought.

Re: This is weird...

How often do you eat hot wings?

I only ask because I know when I eat hot wings, I'm gonna pay for it by holding water.

If that's not something you normally eat, it could be the culprit.


Also.... What you ate yesterday could be having more effect on you than what you ate today.

Re: This is weird...

I have found that the more often I drink lots of water, the less I pee. I think that my bladder expands to be ready for more fluid. If you normally do not drink that much, or if you exercised before testing, or drank alot of fluids before testing you could register a lower Ketone color or none at all. If you are eating on plan and drinking lots of water, and exercising, you can just about bet (no matter what the stick says) that you are in Ketosis. There is actually a few paragraphs in DANDR2002 that mentions all of this.

BTW...I thought you were going to move on to OWL rung 1...how is that coming?
