When I started 5 weeks ago I was able to get into moderate ketosis within 36hrs. Since I was BAD this past weekend-Ive been back on strict induction since Tuesday. But NO ketosis yet. anyone else have this happen?? I wonder why?? L

I have only been doing this for about 10 days. I went into Ketosis after 3 days, but have not been in Ketosis since last Saturday. I have been very strict, but still no luck. I have only lost 3 lbs, where other family members lost 10 - 15 lbs in their first 2 weeks.

It's hard not to get discouraged, but I am going to keep at it.

Dr. Atkins warns that you can't cheat and then jump back on the wagon...without slowing down the wagon.
You only get one "golden shot."
And I belive it.

AAAAHHHHHHH! You just scared me to death!!! I did not know this!!!!!! So, what does this mean????????? No ketosis for me?? Did I blow it COMPLETELY?????? AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! L

Lory,

Don't panic. You only slipped up one time. I'm sure you'll get back in ketosis but it might take a little longer than the 1st time.

Here's two links that I think will help you understand what's happening and why a cheat sometimes has a much higher price than you expect.
