Hey Bro,
keto is going great, already seeing visible results in the first week.
My question is that i havnt differed from my meal plan what so ever, as im afraid to get out of ketosis (not rlly afraid, jst dnt want to)
my plan is, on my carb up day im going to eat some of the "sometimes" exceptible foods while on keto the morning of my carb up.
i.e. ill drink like 1-2 glasses of diet soda, and maybe a hotdog.... check my ketones a half hour later, and if i still show a trace then im find to throw them in my diet the following weak correct?
Edit:
Meal Plan:
Meal 1 - 3 whole eggs + 1 oz full fat cheese w/ 1/2 cup green peppers
Meal 2 - 1 zero carb protein shake w/ 3 tbsp heavy cream
Meal 3 - 1 salad with chicken breast and 2 tbsp olive oil + vinegar
Meal 4 - 1 can of tuna + 2 oz full fat cheese + 2-3 tbsp mayo + green veggies (celery, green pepper, etc)
Meal 5 - 6oz ground beef (80/20) with grated romano cheese, 4tbsp tomato sauce, and green veggies
Meal 6 - 1 cup cottage cheese + either 3tbsp heavy cream or 2tbsp olive oil w/ 8-10 almonds.
been following this... jst looking for more variety, things to sub in out and still keto safe.
Hey there.
Well that is one way to see how your body handles certain products. Hot dogs are ALWAYS fine...here are the things to be careful of in general:
Any veggie that isn't green (tomatoes, red/yellow peppers, etc - as most of these have higher sugar levels)
Nut butter and mixed nuts (has carbs and some people react differently)
Citric acid (found in diet soda among other things)
"zero" net carb items that use sugar alcohol - these can really mess your keto up.
Besides that, you can try out a few things to see your keto levels. Generally it would take around 3-5 hours after eating it to throw you out of ketosis - so plan accordingly.
if the items do NOT throw you out of keto, also consider that it generally takes OVER 20-25g of carbs to achieve this.
