Maybe you aren’t in ketosis, that’s why

Another idea for those “doing it right” and not seeming to get where they want to go.

Why you’re not in ketosis

Eating more or less like I had done lately, how many carbs would that add up to? I was in for a surprise.

What I ate on day one:

– 400 grams of broccoli (16 g carbs)
– 200 grams of cream (6 carbs)
– 150 grams bacon (1.5 g carbs)
– 4 eggs (2 g carbs)
– 150 grams of spinach (1.5 g carbs)
– 5 raspberries (1 g carbs)
– 1 square (1 cm x 1 cm) of 86% chocolate (1 g carb)
– 4 brazil nuts (0.5 g carbs)
– 75 grams of butter (0.5 g carbs)
– 2 cups of coffee (0 g carbs)

30 grams of digestible carbs, 50% more than recommended.

Carb creep and too much protein. Need to check both.

This is good information, as we are all candidates for carb creep. Sometimes we realize it, many times we don't. Periodic analysis of our meals is important.

That's why I use cronometer to track all my food every day even though my diet doesn't vary much from day to day. Tracking my food keeps me honest. I also monitor my micronutrients this way. I've made it a top priority to eat in the healthiest way I can. Tracking helps me do that.

I agree, Jean. Tracking is ESSENTIAL. Unless you are going No Carb
