How do you know more than 2 cups of veggies throw you out of ketosis?

Ketosis has little to do with the number of calories you eat, but more with what those calories come from. You might want to post a menu. Also, same question as above, how do you know you are not in ketosis?

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
