I have (through process of elimination) recently discovered that eating nuts kicks me out of ketosis. I have tried almonds, pistachios, and macadamia to date. Its not a big deal I guess, since I know my body doesn't like them, but that only wants to make me eat them all the more!

Oh, how do I know they knock me out of ketosis, well that is what the strips tell me. I know don't trust the strips. But I no longer have ketosis breath, or that funny taste in my mouth.

I know I have food allergies, maybe this has something to do with it?

Do you think nuts affect you because of allergens or because of your serving sizes? I know I have a big problem with them mainly because I can't stop!!

I eat mac nuts all the time... but I keep it down to a max of 1/4c in a given day. They are very high in fat, which makes them high calorie as well. I only had keto breath once... and that was about 2 months ago... never happened again since. But I still average from a half lb to 1lb loss a day. I don't rely on the strips or breath.. it can be deceiving.

Maybe have nuts... but in moderation.

Why does the fat fast contain choices like Macadamias and Walnuts but then on Induction we're not supposed to have them? I guess that's kind of confusing to me. I have been eating them, but I'm not sure if they're slowing down my weight loss or not. I don't think so though, because.. What ingredients would cause weight loss to stall? They're also high in fat so I'd think they would aid weight loss.. Hmm.. mind boggling
