Exercise and ketosis question...

[Slapshot]

Scenario 1:
On Sunday, Person A begins a perfect induction, but does not exercise.

Scenario 2:
On Sunday, Person A begins a perfect induction, but exercises at a moderate intensity each day.

Assume that Person A eats the same exact food/quantities/water, etc. in each scenario.

Therefore, all things being equal, will Person A go into ketosis sooner under Scenario 2 because of the exercise? Does the exercise promote the depletion of the glycogen stores?

When beginning Atkins and doing moderate intensity exercise: yes and yes.

Well, thanks for that... Explains why I'm not in ketosis yet after 3 days. Will be hitting gym today! I've had some peanut-butter induced slip ups, and am back on track eating-wise...

Ouch. So I guess peanut butter is out, huh? Join the club.

Peanut butter is evil. After almost 5 years on Atkins, I cannot allow peanut butter into the house. It calls it's siren song from wherever I hide it from myself. Last winter I tried three times to buy peanut butter to bake peanut butter cookies at Christmas, but, alas, failed to even bake one cookie.

Slapshot, I was wondering this same thing.
Remember though, that starting any exercise regamine, you could gain slightly.. but it's nothing to be alarmed about.. the weight will fall off I got myself freaked out b/c I worked out on all my first days and didnt lose right away but then it came flying off. LOL! The inches don't lie

Me too. My wife has hidden ours, at my request. I bought the natural peanut butter thinking that I could take 2 tablespoons (1 serving) and that would be enough. Not even close. The jar was gone in 4 days. Ugh! And, of course, peanut butter is a gateway drug to other stuff, too, so the past few weeks have been mildly off plan. Back on it now, though.

mmmmmmm....peanut butter...

That evil butter was the cuase of my downfall the last time as well. PreAtkins I would eat it by the jar.
Now I have to stop thinking about peanut butter now.

I think I'll follow suit on this one.

Hey Slapshot, here's my recent peanut butter-related post: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...willpower.html (An Observation on Newfound Willpower) . I too know the sweet, sweet siren song of P.B. Best of luck to you! Congratulations on getting back on track.

Do you think a small amount of Peanut butter like one ounce is enough to take you out of ketosis. I also love peanut butter but having just a tiny taste is enough to satisfy my craving. I don't eat half the jar or anything but I would be so mad at myself if that little lick took me out of ketosis for three days/ Net carbs in the ounce are 3 grams. It probably differs from person to person how many carbs will knock you out. Just curious.
