Day 8 General questions???

[Elliscountyhunter]

On my 8th day, went off track by drinking beer on saturday, eating banana split on sunday, and mexcian food on monday. But whats crazy, I'm still losing weight. I've been using the Keto stips, but they've never showed up purple as I would be in the fat burning stage. I've already went from 240 to 222. Any ideas!!!

Did you slip that badly? From the looks of it, you slipped once a day for three days, but that's it. Your body may not have caught onto the fact that you slipped and is still in fat burning mode.

I think indulging on a lot of carbs can have a different effect on different people. Some will find no issues right away, others will find them right away, and then those that are in the middle might not have an issue right now, but will in a couple of days.

Either that or your body did catch on, but because it wasn't a horrible all day slip kind of thing, your body did use up what carbs you ingested, but is getting back to using up the fat stores.

You consumed less Calories than you burned, so you lost weight. There are many ways to lose weight and Atkins is only one of them.

I've been using the Keto stips, but they've never showed up purple as I would be in the fat burning stage.

Does this surprise you?

I'm not sure what ideas you are asking for. Unless you do Atkins, it's not the best idea to ask advice on an Atkins Bulletin Board. Other weight loss boards would definitely be more suitable for you. Try doing a Google search.

Good luck.
