At last I am under 80kg!!! So thrilled to finally break the mark, and now only have less than 3kg to be in healthy weight range.
Still losing weight, but it's slower than we'd like (both my husband and myself), and I wonder if it is the failure to get into nutritional ketosis? I bought a ketosis meter and since I've had it, I haven't had a reading over 0.6 and it's usually more like 0.3. I have given up maltitol now, as I was eating a few "sugar-free" lollies every day (1-10 of them), but it doesn't seem to have affected my ketones yet. Also, my husband rarely eats the maltitol lollies and his ketones are also low (0.3). Any suggestions? We mostly eat 3 meals a day and aim for fat 60-120g, net carbs 20-25g, protein 60-70g. We do eat out at least once a week and although we try to choose foods that will fit our macros, I wonder if we are getting a lot of unwanted flours and sugars (we live in Malaysia and they put sugar in a lot of foods, like curries, vegetable dishes). Would eating out once a week throw my ketones for the entire week? Has anyone has experience with this while testing ketones?
Anyway, at least we are losing weight, but I want to increase the rate as the amount of time and effort I invest in food cannot be sustained in the long term, and as my husband still has 40kg to lose, it will be long-term at our current rate.
