Ketosis on PPLP - is this POSSIBLE?
I had always heard/read that the only way to get to ketosis is on the hardcore plans, like Atkins. On the other hand, I was experiencing dragon breath , so on a whim, I picked up some ketostix today at the pharmacy. I was sure I would test negative, but lo and behold, I tested a wee bit darker than 'trace', but not quite in 'low' for ketosis! I have been doing PPLP - 30-40 carb grams a day. I have also been drinking water like crazy. So now I'm really curious - are there any others on PP or PPLP that have found themselves in ketosis?
I know I took the test correctly. I read and followed the directions, waited exactly fifteen seconds to read the test, etc. One thing I have tried to do is make sure I spread my carbs out over the day, as much as possible, and I almost always eat them with some protein. Even when I plan a meal that has a meat, a salad and a bit of low-carb fruit, I usually save the fruit for later and eat it with some cheese or a little meat. Maybe that's helping - I don't know! I'm just really intrigued by this, and I would welcome any and all input. Thanks!
