The last four days my ketones have ranged between 1.9 and 2.4 with today's being 2.1. I do seem to be quite sensitive to carbohydrates with a small drop in ketones everytime I eat my pumpkin soup even when it is only a small serve like 3/4 of a mugful.
Yesterday's stats
Calories 1035 ... a bit lower than I intended but why eat when not hungry?
12.5%C:19%P:68.3%F
That's only 33 gm carb and not enough to stop ketosis but it does lower it slightly. Considering I have never been diabetic and my blood sugars have always been pretty good this carb thing amazes me. No wonder I gained weight whenever I was not restricting carbs.
My weight is slightly down again at 80.9 kg/178 pounds. I've been bouncing around in this same area give and take 2 kg for a weeks now but ..... I feel more positive that I have found the place where the general trend is down providing I persist.
I was thinking I may not pop in daily from now on because it looks as though it might get boring ...... but I may need this for myself for a while yet. Same goes for testing blood ketones. My testing strips cost about $12 week and I am certainly thinking that daily is a bit OT but it has become part of my morning routine and a bit of a crutch as well. Just like the scales. I like numbers. Duh!
From next Saturday to the following Saturday my plan will be challenged in every way possible. It will be interesting to see how I manage. There is various travelling, changing houses twice, adjusting to shopping in a different town and so much more. From now until the beginning of November we will be out of our normal pattern Fun but not sure I am ready for this challenge.
