Question Am I still In Ketosis?

Today I felt really sick like I was going to faint so I grabbed a piece of bread and ate it. Could I still be in ketosis or will it take a few days to get back in? I still have the bad breath and taste in my mouth. I am still waiting on my ketosis testing sticks so I cant check that way. THanks

Hi debmarjs,

It all really depends how much bread you ate! if it was just one piece you may be OK.

Whatever, it doesn't really matter - just get back on the diet and don't do it again. Eat enough to stop you getting faint - and if you must do this eat something less damaging i.e. a bit piece of cucumber, a lump of cheese, some nuts, even half an apple (low G.I.) would be better than bread. They all contain some carbs but not enough to do damamge.

Feeling feint is not a good sign - -are you taking multi vit/minerals? Are you drinking enough water? Make sure you eat 3 or 4 meals a day...

good luck.
