    I started on April 1st. .. .Monday.  It took until Thursday morning to see the scale move in the right direction.   When I did start to lose,  Only .6lbs the first day and 1 lb per day since.  But, the first 2 days I gained.  Eekkkk🙄

  • I have been in ketosis since day 2. As long as you're keeping under 20g net carbs per day you should hit ketosis fairly quickly.

  • Took me about two days.  Only had the “keto flu” for a couple of days, too.

  • Day three and test stick second one from as dark as it gets. Wondering if once our bodies gets use to using fat for energy -will it get lighter?

    I cannot belief that I am the only one that  can't go from "Pizza, Ice cream and cookies" to Ketosis in 2 or 3 days, I think you are all DREAMING...

    With drinking the bullet proof coffee in the morning MCT oil 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon organic grass fed butter 1 tablespoon organic heavy whipping cream is the key to not having the hunger in my opinion I felt I was in ketosis after about two days also.  I have a sweet tooth but have been doing well over my first week so far. Good luck !

    Laura Hi Laura,  I also find the Bulletproof Coffee holds me until 2 or 3 in the afternoon.  Sunday I ended up fasting all day and lost 1.8 because I wasn’t hungry.  Crazy!!!!!

    I just don’t put the Heavy Whipping Cream in because I’m also Intermittent Fasting. 

    I can’t seem to get into the purple on the Keto strips.  Always pink.  But still losing.  Keeping track of everything that goes into my mouth.  So, stick to it. It works!!!!

    arizonafun54  Hi, I am fairly new to this and wondering why you’d put butter in your coffee but not heavy whipping cream if you are intermittent fasting, Wouldn’t butter break the fast?

    jsells arizonafun54 here,

    Butter does not make your insulin rise. So, I choose to use my Kerrygold butter with Coconut Oil. 

    I never get hungry when I drink my Bulletproof Coffee. Some days I fast all day.  The coffee holds me all day!! 😁 The last time I fasted which was last Sunday, I lost 4.2 pounds when I weighed on Monday   

    I use no strips or blood meter. I follow the  plan and steady losing. 

    Hope this helped!!

    You could Google Butter or Heavy Whipping Cream and ask if it breaks a fast. 

    Good Luck on your journey. 

    So far I’m down 28 pounds!!!
