Do you stay in consistently? When you go out are you able to connect it to a cheat or an overage? Or do some people find that it's specific foods that push them out of ketosis? When you drop out of ketosis, how long does it usually take you to get back in? Every time I drop out of ketosis, will I need to revert to Induction to get back in? Do you still lose weight/inches even if you're not in ketosis? >> I'm new to this list, though not new to low carb. I figured I would just jump in and answer your questions. I only test positive for ketosis in the morning.. and usually then its between trace and small. Very few times have I even got to moderate. However, in order for me to not be trace in the morning, I have to either have a really big cheat (a bowl of ice cream, a bowl of cereal) or have been going to about 60 carbs for more than 2 days. When I go out of ketosis, if I am low carb the next day, I usually am back in ketosis within a day. I have heard of many people that loose weight/inches while never achieving ketosis. It is not necessary, but I think it definatly helps. Don't forget though, that there will be plenty of times when you are in Ketosis, and you don't loose. Expecially since you do not have that much to loose. Just make sure that you do your best, and try to have the best menu choices. And in my opinion, it is much better to " Cheat " with legal foods, than with illegal ones.
