Re: No ketosis - getting frustrated
@Biff Tannen For your sleep have you tried magnesium glycinate and/or melatonin? Magnesium relaxes the body and melatonin regulates the sleep/wake cycle. Good luck.

Re: Mixing measurements
No doesn’t matter, it’s the same amounts just different units of measuring.

Re: Between Ketosis and Fat-Adapted
@Krazykatlady Carbs are easier to access for energy so they will get burned first. However after fat adaptation especially after an extended time, a high carb meal or day has no effect other than…

Re: Increased blood pressure
@gerardwilson05e286 Most people are fine with net carbs. If you are insulin resistant then total carbs are better.

Re: Ketostix: how many days to wait before they get purple?
You were probably in ketosis but once you ate those carbs in one day, you started over. Ketosis usually occurs within 2-3 days but fat adaptation requires up to 6 weeks and being strictly low carb.
