This is not about a member's number of posts or about his/her position, Mattkins. Liv was sharing the effect that eating 50 net carbs would have
on her, not on you, me or anyone else. You cannot know whether 50 net carbs will throw
her out of ketosis for 7 days. You might think most people will be able to get back in ketosis in less than 7 days. That is probably correct and Dr. Atkins does tell us in DANDR that usually it takes 2-3 days to completely switch from glucosis to lipolysis. But we are not all the same and some people are more metabolically resistant than others. Those people, like Liv, will need more time to get into ketosis. This is an excerpt from DANDR 2002, Ch. 13, p. 158:

As I'm sure you've guessed, the degree of resistance to weight loss that your body shows corresponds to your degree of difficulty in getting well into lipolysis. By definition, resistance to weight loss is resistance to lipolysis.

As you can see, if someone is metabolically resistant, he/she is resistant to getting into ketosis.
Let's keep this thread friendly.
