I was woundering if you can still be in ketosis after a cheat? I had a big bowl of ice cream the other night and the next day my DH said "that smell is back"he has a great nose *LOL* i can't tell.He said it is stronger. I don't understand how this can happen.

Sometimes a cheat does not throw you out of ketosis. It might have something to do with how insulin resistent you are, I am really not sure.

I think sometimes a cheat jolts the metabolism, makes it very happy and it works harder!!!

I don't cheat with forbidden foods but occasionally will up my carbs for one day by 15 gm. This seems to stimulate my sluggish metabolism and is always followed by a weight loss.

This is just my theory based on my experience. One cheat will not throw you out of ketosis as long as the cheats are RARE.
