150 g carbs and still in ketosis . Umm what

(Kellie) #21

Update: I woke up feeling awful. Stomach hurts, I feel like I’m going to puke, my heart feels like it’s racing. checked my glucose it read 92. I don’t have anymore ketone test strips left to test my blood so I’m not sure if I’m in ketosis. Scale is up a pound but I think it’s maybe something to do with all this.

Also does anyone know why my stomach feels so sore like a did 100 sit ups ?!

I hope you feel better

I know when I am thrown out of ketosis is very bad feeling. I do not know but I have a feeling it has to do with disturbing the guts bacteria.

Thank you ! It’s my own fault , I wanted to try something different and new -carb cycling - but I don’t think it’s for me , Just stick to good ole Low carbs

It’s also possible that a one day spike wasn’t enough to knock you out. That doesn’t mean, necessarily, that a prolonged daily intake at 150 won’t knock you out. Of course if you are able to maintain 150 grams a day prolonged and remain in ketoaide, then there are many of us here that will be super jealous and won’t want to talk to you anymore :grin:

Thanks for the laugh out loud moment :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

The definition of nutritional ketosis is fairly arbitrary, as Dr. Phinney, who came up with it, admits. A reading of 0.2 after one becomes fat-adapted, however, doesn’t necessarily mean that one is no longer in ketosis; it could just mean that the body has gotten more efficient at consuming the ketones it produces. Besides, fat-adaptation is the real goal, and your body can remain fat-adapted without necessarily having to produce ketone bodies all the time.

ETA: Also, as far as 100 g of carbohydrate being an absolute barrier to ketosis, Dr. Phinney regularly used to talk about LCHF as being anything under 100-125 g./day, and he would talk about people’s getting into ketosis eating that much carbohydrate. That may have had something to do with his focus at the time on fat-adapted athletes, because I notice that in his Virta Health videos, which are geared to a diabetic, insulin-resistant population, the maximum he is now recommending is 50 g/day. So I believe a lot of it is individual.

I suspect I myself might be one of the people who could eat more carbohydrate and be okay, but I stick to as little carbohydrate as I can manage, since I don’t want to trigger a binge on carbs, and most especially not sugar. If I ever do find myself on the way to Dunkin’ Donuts, however, I promise to alert you all to buy stock . . . :doughnut::doughnut::doughnut:
