Well,...darn! I have lost a total of 3 lbs. in almost 3 weeks.......whoopee. My BS has come down, from the mid to high 200's to low 200's A.m. and 180's in PM with a reduction of inslin from 42 2X a day to 25 2 X a day,......But I just coulnd't understand why I wasnt' losing more than that.
Then I got the keto sticks....they were negative at night. From 6 p.m. to 11 a.m. I ate 1 cup of yogurt, one Atkins bar, about 2 oz. of meat and few peanuts. At 5 p.m. I had had a bowl of LC ice cream. So I thought, OK, maybe the ice cream was the culprit,....but by 11 a..m., I was still not in ketosis (no change at all on stik).
So I came in and read this thread and that may be the explanation.
However,....someone said, eat something else sweet that doesnt' have the sugar alcohol in it,..an that would be what? Other than the yogurt, which isn't really "sweet" IMO, I can't find anything. With the BS so high (though SO much better) I don't have to tell you what my sugar cravings have been.
Anyway, any idea for sweet w/o the alcohol would be appreciated. Also, how long should it take to go into ketosis after you have a lot of carbs...e.g., eating at 5 p.m., and still no ketosis by 11 a.m.
