Default Re: ketosis please help me

If you are having trouble with the program you need to re-read the rules and recheck the acceptable food lists - get on program correctly -- in order for the plan to work you have to follow it as written. After this much time on the plan what rung are you up to now?

Food -- make sure you are only eating foods on the acceptable food list
Water -- MANDATORY 64 ounce MINIMUM per day (I drink 150 oz minimum daily)
Exercise -- MANDATORY - it sounds like you have the exercise part down but the rest of the plan you aren't doing properly. What rung of the plan are you on now?

Are you using Fitday or some other program to track your food intake daily? deducting fiber and only counting net carbs daily? The 2002 edition of DANDR is available inexpensively on Amazon - mine, with shipping included, was under $10.00. That's a small price to pay for a life changing program.

There is something called PISS (Post Induction Stall Syndrome) but if you haven't been following the program correctly I wouldn't think this is what you are experiencing. Are you sure the keotsis sticks are still good or are they out of date.
You should test once a day at the same time -- never first thing in the morning.

Maybe you could post some daily meals on that forum to see if anyone can help you understand the changes you need to make. You are using too much Splenda - daily, 3 packets are allowed, we use cream not milk, veggies are a huge part of our daily meals because the largest percentage of carbs is suppose to come from veggies. We also don't support the use of bars and shakes - they are known to stall weight loss also. I think you need to read the book again.
