My husband is bad for getting in a cheat here and there. The first time, the strips showed negative the very day...that afternoon. He has also cheated twice since then and never went out of ketosis on those two days, and he is still loosing weight, faster than me and I have never cheated.
He is in his second week and has already lost 20lbs....which I really dont understand how he is loosing so fast...especially when he has cheated already 3 times in induction....but he is very active at work. Seems to work for him...of course if he hadn't cheated, possibly he would have even lost more weight. He did really good on the first week no cheating. But this second...I am afraid he will cheat more, because he is still loosing, so I am trying to keep an eye on his weight, and I do watch what he eats at breakfast and dinner, its his lunch at work, I dont have much say in. Most of his cheating just consisted of bread. So maybe thats not to bad?
Two weeks ago his MD said he was in early stages of Diabetes, that was his main reason for agreeing to do this diet with me. We were hoping to bring down his Glucose levels...
...I guess thats why I am more worried about him cheating.
I don't suggest cheating to anyone...I myself, I am afraid if I eat anything that I am not suppose to, I will jump out of Ketosis.
Good luck to everyone, may your days be filled with PURPLE!
