Default ketosis in maintenance?
permalink
I was wondering about this. Do you remain in ketosis even through to the maintenance? It seems to me that ketosis is what keeps the cravings at bay. Does that mean that ketosis could be a good measure for knowing when you have reached your CCLL? (you get bumped out of ketosis)

Thanks for any tips you have. I have reached maintenance before but I went straight from extended induction to goal weight. Big mistake. I am not doing that this time!!

1st goal: 139 (earlier weight)
what the rungs mean to me:
rung 1 - more veggies
rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
rung 4 - berries, melon
rung 5 - wine - gotta really re-think this rung
rung 6 - beans, hummus (stay until 133)
rung 7 - other fruits (stay until 131)
rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
(on to pre-maintenance)
