I have also been told that citric acid will stop ketosis. I do not know if it is true for certain, but I suspect it may be. I used to have lime juice on a regular basis and was not losing weight during that time. When I stopped juicing the limes, my weight started down again.
Jolly Rancher and Hunts Juicy Jels have a sugar-free version that uses Splenda rather than aspartame. Those are the brands we are supposed to use. If you use any product with aspartame there is a chance that it will delay weight loss. When I stopped using ANY aspartame, one of my stalls ended and I began losing again.
I'm so lucky! Pretty much EVERYTHING that CAN stall somebody stalls me.
