Went to universal the week before last, got back last Sunday. My precision ketone blood strips just came in today and just measured. 0.9 ketones and 91 glucose for a 5.6 GKI. This is about average for the last 10 weeks. I measure blood ketones($1.50 each)once a week and blood glucose everyday(18¢ each). For the trip I tried to stick to keto most of the day. Had a little carbs during the day, ie some fries and some pretzel. At supper every night(4 nights) had a big carb/sugar dessert. And I mean big. One night had the bookie Sunday at toothsome chocolate factory, another was a velvet cheesecake ice cream at sprinkles and also a bottle of merlot. So probably more carbs in each than I have in a week usually. I’m also under 6g of sugar a day normally. Was enjoyable for sure but not as much as I thought. Was craving my keto coffee from Starbucks every morning more, insert homer mmmmmmmmm here. Got back into ketosis quickly, probably 1-2 days tops from how I felt after we got back. I did fast for about 20 hours coming out of Sunday morning/lunch where I had a bun less bacon cheese burger and that sprinkles red velvet ice cream cupcake.
