Have the "keto rash". As one person said online, who needs a monitor to see if you are in ketosis if you have the rash? It is not fun. Eating a few more carbs seems to help reduce the inflammation. No one seems to have a clear idea what causes it. Antibiotics sometimes helps, but often only helps short term. I have been tweaking my diet to try and reduce calories. My weight is up and down 2 to 3 pounds. Figured I had to go tighter on carbs, and now I find that won't work for me. When will the fun end? I am not about to start eating garbage because I know that will make me feel like garbage. No thanks. But Lord, I am tired of the struggle to lose weight. Have an inflammed Achilles tendon so had to rest today as well. Just walked the dog. Once upon a time, it was relatively easy for me to lose weight. Who knew that it would change so much with age. Nothing works the way it used to...except for my desire to be able to get to a healthier weight. That is still there. Too bad I didn't know then what I know now.

Actually not....I had not intended to do the weigh in, so I didn't change the number they had in the window. I just wanted to put up the journal entry, but went through the wrong entry point. Oh well. Was actually about 3 lbs heavier the last I weighed myself a few days back.

Asked Jimmy about that rash thing some time ago, and he say's it is not from Ketosis, must be an allergic reaction to a food.

yeah, there are just too many stories/studies showing the association. Correlation is not causation, but no one is pointing to anything else as far as a food allergy. I have already eliminated so many allergens. It is possible, but the link to ketosis is very strong, and there is a dose response. People go out of ketosis and the rash clears up, they go back into ketosis and it comes back. Perhaps there is a food allergy link, but the ketosis plays into it somehow. Just not clear yet.
