Aren't you tired of re-losing weight year after year? It's time to make a choice and make that weight-loss permanent.

In a Keto-adapted state, losing your appetite is considered normal.
Interesting phenomenon to observe, in a keto-adapted state, not having an appetite is considered normal. I've completely lost my appetite and desire to eat altogether and I'm not even depressed. I'm not even trying to fast, which is awesome too. I haven't eaten anything since Thursday and it's been 48 hours since I've eaten anything.
Not sure what may have been causing this, but my theory is that my circulatory system is flooded with leptin and beta-hydroxybutyrate. Oh ya, I still haven't stepped in a gym and it's been 80 days (12 weeks) since I started the keto-diet (January 1st, 2016). I stayed consistent and faithful to my diet and had zero cheat days since then.
My weight-loss has slowed down to 1 lb every 2 weeks, but my body fat loss is accelerating at 1-2% every 2 weeks, and this is without exercising. Maybe I won't go to the gym at all and prove, once again, that you can use diet alone to achieve your ideal body.
I'm now fully keto-adapted and it feels great. My state of mind is in a constant state of bliss. This is probably what Buddhist monks feel after fasting for 14-21 days in a row in a meditated state. No more fluctuating carb-driven hormonally unstable moods, just steady Nirvana.

Ketosis and Keto-adaptation, keto pee strips are unreliable.
For people who are attempting to get into a keto-adapted state that produces the effect of 24/7 body fat oxidation, not just during exercise, this is the explanation for you.
Understand the difference, producing ketones and using ketones as energy are two different things. Your body will not absorb the ketones it makes if you're still eating significant amounts of carbs to induce insulin. One effect suppresses the other and vice versa.
For people who depend on keto pee strips to determine if they're in a keto-adapted state, it's unreliable and can produce a false-positive. The so-called keto strip only measures acetoacetate, a ketone your body is discarding and isn't being used.
It doesn't detect beta-hydroxybutyrate, the ketone that the body actually uses for energy. Like I said, unreliable. A truly keto-adapted person will show little to no sign of acetoacetate on a pee strip. The only way to truly know is to get a blood sample to see the concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate in your blood.

Myth: Dill pickles contain zero carbs.
Fact: Dill pickles are made from cucumbers, so they have the same amount of carbs. The one thing you have to watch out for is sugar in the pickling brine.
A typical cucumber contains about 11-12 grams of carbs each. Eating 3 pickles means you just ate 33 grams of carbs, not including sugar from the brine absorbed by the pickles. It all adds up. Know the facts, not all nutrition labels contains all the facts.
