ive been in keto 2.5 wks, lost 10 lbs, 20 to go, if my test strip says trace, could I have a cheat food ? I know, may cause cravings but ....advice please ? Either way, I know my mistake was not enough fat today. So maybe make my cheat high fat ?

    I'm confused, you are doing well, losing weight and want to cheat because of what the ketone sticks say? First, the ketone sticks show if you have been in ketosis recently, but the quantities are not reliable. If you are drinking a lot of water then your urine will be dilute and the ketones on the sticks will be lower. Second, high fat is not cheating on this way of eating, unless it is also high carb. So if you want to eat something with a lot of fat, like a fat bomb, then go for it.
