Well I am still losing weight. Oh and in response to the comments on my last post. I am not giving myself a cheat day. I must have given that impression. I am just not exactly following induction because I am allowing myself to have a low carb tortilla shell every now and then. I am in ketosis and have been all week and I always stay around 20 carbs a day. I check my ketone level every morning and evening so I can tell if I need to change anything. I may not be following induction word for word but I am still eating low carb and I have done this beofore so I know what works for my body. I can stay in ketosis eating low carb tortillas or even double fiber whole wheat bread. It is when I start adding dairy such as sugar free pudding and low carb ice cream that I get out of ketosis and stop losing my weight. I think everyone's body reacts differently to the different types of carbs. Oh I can eat peanut butter and nuts and they don't affect my weight loss either. Good Luck Everyone!!!
