Blood ketones after fasting

[KetoTX]

Hi All,

I recently did a 5 day water fast while testing with my Keto Mojo. At the time I broke my fast, my ketones were at 5.3.
That night, I went to an event and ate a carby meal that would throw anyone out of ketosis. I felt horrible the following day, but was surprised to see that my ketones never dropped below 3.2 for days after my carb feast. I wasn’t taking exogenous ketones or MCT oil. I assume that I was out of ketosis, but i’m curious if ketones will just hang out in your blood for several days even if you’re burning sugar. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks!!

Not exactly that. My feasting is higher carb near 40g a day with generous protein. You can see my numbers here. I don’t have time to make a single chart but as my BG goes up my BHB goes down. Also note the fasting on Kcal chart

My experience has been similar. When my ketone level is high from extended fasting, one meal won’t drive me out of ketosis, so long as I resume fasting. Unfortunately that doesn’t hold true for me at the lower levels I have while eating HFLC or doing IF.
