Last week was interesting. I was on a work trip, where food variety was really limited and I wasn't able to refrigerate my food all the time. So, I prepared by bringing a bag of almonds, a jar of almond butter (that I didn't touch), a brick of cheese, and a couple bags of pepperettes. That got me through some tough times..... and then there were a few times when I had NO choice, unless I went hungry. Spaghetti dinner..... ugh. Breakfasts of sugary yogurt and granola. The sad part is I felt like I was "cheating" and it wasn't even good cheats. No bag of chips, piece of chocolate cake, or french fries that I would like to cheat with. I managed to make the right choices every time I had one. I came home from my trip and tried a test strip..... not in ketosis. 2 days of keto eating again and sure enough my mouth has that gross feeling of ketosis again. My test strip shows small traces of ketones so I think I'm back on the right track. I am wondering how many carbs, or how often eating a meal with lots of carbs will kick me out of ketosis? I've been eating Keto for 1 month, 14 lbs down and proud of it.
