Default Re: ketosis please help me

Just to reiterate.....

No peanuts
No milk
Cut back on the coffee,
And finally, MAX 3 splenda per day.

I also have issues with the ketosis strips though. I have max 2 splenda with my coffee, and use cream, I stay within the 20 carb per day limit and do 40 minutes of intense cardio 5 days a week. I limit my cheese intake to 3 oz per day, I eat my veggies....
Lets say I am following the rules..
The issue is that one day after the gym I may test my ketones and its dark red (I drink lots of water all day!) but This is great I want to see the red!
Then the next morning, first pee of the day, its possibly a trace but looks more negative??? Whats up with that? It goes from ketones to negative all the time, but my diet doesn't change.

OH the only thing I do, that may be affecting it is eat LOTS of pork rinds, LOL
Thats been my main snack. They are really high in protein, and I think I heard that too much protein can convert to carbs or something? Is that true?
I think I will lay off those for a week and see what happens.
