Doesn't sound like it's enough to bring you out of ketosis. If you want to be certain, you can purchase KETOSTIX from the drugstore. You pee on them, and if they turn any shade of pink or purple, you are still in ketosis. The darker the shade, the more ketones(burnt up fat) you are throwing off. The darker the shade, the less hungry you should feel.Originally Posted by Megs84
Out of curiosity, how much "off limits" food do you have to eat to get kicked out of ketosis? Is it as simple as a bite of something high-carb or a few sips of diet coke? I don't know much about ketosis, so I'm trying to understand. I went to my parents' house on the weekend for supper. It was day 4 for me, and I was finally starting to feel better after those first three days of ****. My mom told me we were having lean ground beef with ground up veggies (nothing restricted) in it to make it like a meat loaf. So, I had that as my lean protein and had salad, etc. I was almost finished eating when my mom said, "Oh, is it okay that I put tomato soup in the meat loaf?" My serving of meat loaf was around the 5 oz mark, so it's not like I had a whole bowl of tomato soup. But would that have been enough to bring me out of ketosis after just getting in? I have been sticking so close to the diet over the past 6 days, with the exception of that. But, I am still hungry all the time, and I thought that by now I shouldn't feel hungry any more. That makes me wonder if ketosis maybe hasn't set in. If anyone has any insight, I'd really appreciate it
All the smells expecially the chicken nuggets and the apple dippers were hard to resist. I ordered a water......and just manned up and didn't give in. Cannot wait until the cravings go away!!
