don’t understand how my levels are so low and I’m not losing tho!! I literally don’t even use stevia. nothing! just meat and fat and veggies, that’s it. Also, my blood ketone levels were good then they just dropped out of nowhere. Can’t get them above 1.1!!

Yeah, I often think that…

Something that might be affecting your body’s unwillingness to let go of fat is stress. Stress elevates cortisol and elevated cortisol levels disrupt the body’s blood glucose control by stimulating glucose secretion from stores in the liver and limiting the release of the hormone responsible for removing excess glucose from the blood stream, insulin,” says Dr Buchwald-Werner.

Try to focus on the good things that are happening. Try to focus on the fact that you are probably eating healthier than you ever have. And try to remember that if the scale stresses you out, it is not your friend.

You ARE losing though, the change in your waist measurement shows that. The scale is not a good guide. And 1.1mmol is a decent ketone reading, not that you should even be chasing numbers. Ease up on yourself and be patient.
