Ketosis

[esellek]

Sorry the answer is bound to be here somewhere but I am running around like a loony at the moment - 3 kids, just in from work and they all want something and me I want my sausages!

Just done a ketosik thing and it is on the 0.5 slightly pink - being thick, is this the start of ketosis??

Thank you as I know some kind soul will have the answer

Sounds like small (or maybe trace) - my understanding is it doesnt matter what level of darkness you are in... once youre in youre in.

Any color means you are in keotsis -- if you come up with dark purple it could be because you are dehydrated or because of foods you are eating.

I have never shown color on the sticks but I know I'm in keotsis because of a fruity taste in my mouth, bubbly urine, a strong urine smell...those are better gauges of keotsis.

Congratulations -- watch those sausage for hidden sugars....make sure you read all labels and understand the different words for "sugar" in the ingredients.

Good luck.

thank you

And as an aside, I have changed over to soya milk - low carb and for cholesterol. I guess that it is ok to drink???

Sarah - most british bangers are not induction-friendly due to the breadcrumbs/rusk/wheat products added as fillers. do check the ingredients list to make sure they only have meat and spices in them. You are more likely to find the german-type sausages are OK rather than the traditional british ones I have found.

As for soy milk, this becomes an option when you reach the 6th level/rung of the OWL carbohydrate ladder, not induction. You 'could' water down some single or double cream to make it more of a milk consistency but as I never drink milk I don't know how much different that would taste. I used it for cooking when the recipe called for milk when on induction.

Wow you look fab, can't beleive the two pics are of you!!

I got my butcher to make up the sausages for me, Rutland Butchers just meat and they added in some spice and boy are they scrummy!

The soya milk is this one sorry for the big text, just copied it!
