When I started this diet, a month a go, I got into ketosis almost immediately, I believe in the second day. As far as I've seen for me ketostix worked flawless (maybe is a good batch) and showed constant ketosis over the first three weeks. Than I had a 3-day break over Easter, when obviously I was not in ketosis anymore.
On Tuesday this week I went back on TS and things are not so pink as they used to be. Hungry all the time, ketostix show constantly negative, no more stinky breath (which I had constantly over the first three weeks), and feel very weak, no energy.. To sum up, I know for sure I am not in ketosis.
The one good thing is that the weight is still going down, slowly but surely, probably based on low calories. The bad thing is that I have this nagging "give up" thoughts, things like.. well, if I am not in ketosis what's the point not having just a bit of something.. It doesn't matter anyway..
My conclusions so far on the subject..
- sometimes just taking a break, thinking that you can just jump back in ketosis as easily as you did first time may not work as planned;
- not being in ketosis is not only bad for hunger/energy, but for psychic/motivation also (you can't lose it if you didn't get it..)
