    If you have been eating "the keto way" since then, you should definitely be back in ketosis. Have you been drinking a lot of water? What about other types of drinks with artificial sweeteners? I noticed that if I have been drinking things with artificial sweeteners, the sticks show i'm not in ketosis either.

    Throw those sticks in the trash, if you are eating less then 20 g of carbs you are fine.

    to lose body fat means you are in ketosis. Everyone who drops body fat gets into ketosis. Ketosis means fat burning. Get a life and get off our keto group board.

    Sometimes "cheat" days like this are a good reset button on your metabolism, especially if you're in a stall while in ketosis. Seriously, throw out the ketostix though. Just eat 65%/30%/5% or close to it and don't worry.

    so if i ate no carbs or protein and just fat at 10000 calories, i'd be in ketosis. Yet would i lose or gain weight?
    ketosis doesn't mean much.

    Considering you'd likely have to vomit most of that up to eat 10k dietary calories of fat in a day, your body would probably violently expel most of it and everything else in your system. I have an idea. Why don't you prove us all wrong, and drink 5 cups of Coconut Oil tomorrow? :D Then you can tell us if you gained or lost weight. FOR SCIENCE!

    You can actually burn body fat while in a caloric surplus on a ketogenic diet. This is widely known and understood.

    If you eat higher protein, you fall victim to gluconeogenesis, which completely undermines the point of a ketogenic diet.

    Ketosis reduces my desire to binge and cuts my appetite. I don't care about anything else.

    Although I am starting to wonder if it's helping my moods, too. But maybe I just have more energy to work out and the workouts are what helps my moods. Either way, I'm happy.
