    Diary closed so can't see what form the sugar was was in - if it was low GI vegetables then probably no effect. What other carbs went with the sugar ?

    I suggest you check out the main low carber daily forum here in MFP (and more specifically the launchpad / sticky note area at the top of this group because it contains a ton of helpful information re LCHF). It's where most of us Ketofiles tend to hang out:

    Sugar is a carb, and included in your total intake. Most people can remain in ketosis so long as total intake is < 50g a day, but it varies by individual, which is why you need to find your actual threshold via experimentation and testing.
