Out of ketosis but not sure why!

Out of ketosis but not sure why?
I was tracking all my fats but I stoped. I’m still trying to eat high fat meals. The highest I’ve ever been is 1.8 but now I’m at 0.2 or 0.4 after 3 days of eating one large meal per day. Not sure why my ketones are so low!
And I may have light snack at night like some macadamia nuts (nuts!!) if I eat my one meal early.
How do I get myself back into ketosis?
I listened to Megan Ramos on 2 keto dudes “switching it up”.
I have been trying to feast and fast and that is FINALLY helping me to start loosing. But now I’m out of ketosis.
Any suggestions?

How are you testing?
How long have you been keto?

More importantly, how do you FEEL?

I have been in ketosis for a couple months. I test with Jimmy more keto mojo blood tester and I feel good

Then chances are your body has just adapted and is producing just as many ketones as it needs, rather than over-producing.

When do you test? Best time would be just before you eat your meal.

Are usually test right when I wake up

I have probably tested myself maybe 25 or 30 times
the only time it’s been below 0.5 is when there was a reason like Thanksgiving
I ate Thanksgiving dinner and it dipped down to 0.4 and then came back up again after one or two days
It’s very intriguing to me I can’t figure out what is going on

Levels are up and down naturally during the day. Don’t stress it.

How’s your weight doing ?

I have lost a few pounds with the intermittent fasting finally!
I didn’t budge at all just doing keto for nearly 3 months but now I’m finally starting to lose Yahoo so happy about that it’s slow but at least I’m losing!
I was actually one of those unfortunate that as soon as I started the diet I gained weight…5 lbs.
Now I’m 1-2 pound lower than when I started the diet
Also I don’t feel as puffy as I did for a long time.
I’m sure most of the weight is water but still it feels good

Sometimes the body just needs to heal itself before it can start burning fat stores. I really wouldn’t worry, sounds like you’re doing fine.
