Hi I was really in ketosis/dark purple but I had some cream yesterday and it has gone to paler today! I really need a sweet treat so would I be better having an Atkins bar rather than cream if I need a treat? R these ok to have regularly on induction?

Weigh in tomorrow and I'm so nervous lol
Thanks

[mustdoit]

it may not be the cream .........your body varies from hour to hour , you may have drunk more water ..lots of reasons but you are still in ketosis x

 

[astraea]

thats great thanks

Are the atkins bars ok to have on induction?
i had a bar for breakfast at 7 this morning and i am still not hungry so i was hoping that these may b ok now and again to eat on the go, but i dont want to stall or anything

thanks

I'd say one wouldn't do any harm Just had one myself for breakfast.

 

[Marysu]

Back to tracking, grrrrr.....

B- Atkins day break bar (2.1g)
100mls milk in coffees (8.4g)
L-50g Galtee cheese (2.2g)
Salad greens (5.8g)
D-130g beef mince
green beans (4g)

Total 22.5g

Might throw in some eggs or something later if i'm peckish.

 

[dana1402]

if ppl talk of cream, what cream is that? double cream?

 

[Marysu]

Double cream is the best. I always lose more weight with cream and cheese, but every one is differant.
Whether sticks are paler or not doesn't matter, the more water you have the more diluted the ketones are hence the pale colour. With sticks any colouring on them is good even pale pink as you are either in ketosis or not.

 

[dana1402]

Yeah so its rhubarb and cream for dessert tonight! And my ketostix is halfway purple so "Yey me!!!"

 

[Marysu]

Well done

 

[astraea]

oohh thats good to know, so as long as its on the scale then it doesnt matter how dark the stick goes?

well today i have had

b-atkins advantage bar
l-chicken, cucumber and lettuce with a dollop of mayonaise
d-piece of steamed haddock and a piece of smoked mackrel with some greens (lovely combination i know-lol)

s-jelly/cream whip with a bit of cream lol
d-lots of water (but not enough!!-2 cans of diet coke

I have made some cheeseburger pie to tae to uni tomorrow for my lunch - does this taste good cold?? it looks beautiful, and even though i have not tasted it yet i have a feeling its gonna be a staple of my diet lol. i definately feel my appetitie is reducing so thats a good thing, is that another indication i am in ketosis?
