eating carbs on Cambridge

[lisalollipop13909]

Ok...please help with a discussion Im having with my friend who just started Cambridge but eats carbs in her meal. Potatoes, rice or pasta. Her cdc has told her she will still lose weight but just benefit from the extra weight loss that comes with ketosis. Is this right?

Wont benefit from ketosis rather

I am on step 3 and yes, I have carbs but a small amount.
I am in ketosis but I wouldn't say it was a 'strong' ketosis.. My ketostix are only mildly pink but when I did CD before on SS they were practically purple!!!
Im sure someone will come along and tell me I'm wrong!!! But anyway, as you can see my losses are fine even with carbs. X

Yes you can eat carbs and still be in ketosis
What is difficult to know is how much you can eat without going out of ketosis
Last time I was doing Cambridge 810, I wasn't in ketosis, so I assume just a bit of carb would kick me out of ketosis

Jackie, my CDC told me that it needs to be on the second pink square, not dark purple. It dosent mean that the stronger the colour the stronger the ketosis..


3rd weigh in for me Monday, hope your doing ok

The darker the test strip the more water you need, the mid pink is right, anything darker and you need more water xx
