Getting back into ketosis

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I started high fat, medium protein and 15g carbs a day 2 months ago. My

first 4-6 weeks were great - a couple of slips, but got back into ketosis

easily and quickly.

Three weeks ago I went away to our other house (6 hour drive away) we've

been trying to sell for 2.5 years to do some maintenance on it. I took 5

of the children with me. Due to the stress I came out of ketosis with my

old downfalls - fruit, yogurt,honey and cheese - and can't seem to get it

back. I've tried all my tricks - vitamin c throughout the day, salt water,

water fasting for 24 hours - and I can do it for a couple of days and then

something snaps and I'm an addict looking for my carb fix :-(

I love the way I feel in ketosis - physically, emotionally, spiritually - I

just can't seem to bully through the addict behavior when it rears it's

ugly head. I've even used the visualizing Joanne spoke of - to not avail

(well, it just didin't work long enough).

Could exercise be a problem? I know Bee doesn't recommend heavy exercise.

3x a week I lift weights for 15 minutes and do intervals for 15 minutes.

So, not too much, but something. I have osteoporosis (at 47) and was told

this is important to do while I'm still premenopausal.

Anyway, short of sending the fruit/yogurt/honey with my dh to work so I

can't eat it - I don't know what to do. I'm so weak. Any suggestions?
