You're not going to be rewarded daily or even weekly for being good. It's just not going to happen. Weight loss is not a linear process. You are going to lose, plateau, gain, lose, lose, plateau, etc etc ad nauseum, because that's how it works. This is especially true if you're bending the rules, taking in a ton of excess calories (bacardi= 70 calories an ounce and I have yet to meet anyone that pours themself an ounce. Most bars pour an ounce and a half. In an evening you can easily consume a day's worth of calories drinking and not even have a clue you just did it) AND eating those garbage bars with all the non-legal ingredients and artificial sweeteners.
Being in ketosis is sorta like being pregnant. You either are or you're not. If you are, you're fine. The level of keytones on the strips doesn't matter.
Hang in there. 5 days is NOTHING.
