Hi All,
I've been doing CD for just under 2 weeks now, and prior to that, I did Lipotrim for 3 weeks. I had a 2 day break in between.
I bought some Ketostix today and tested myself, only to find that I am not in Ketosis, which was quite a shock and made me think, What's the point!".
I'm thinking there could be 3 reasons why this might have happened. and would really appreciate your views, seeing as you're all very knowledgeable.
1. I've given up smoking and have been chewing Nicorette gum, about 5/6 a day, not sure if these are sugar free.
2. On two occasions this week I ate 2 bars, on one day the second bar was in addition to my shakes.
3. I have about 2/3 cups of boullion a day and put 2 teaspoons in each one. I did post about this and as recommended by peeps on this forum, I have tried to use only 1 teaspoon, but would rather not drink it to be honest as it tasts just like hot water.
I've lost 16lbs on Lipotrim, however I've only lost 3.5 lbs in the past 10 days doing the CD, really can't pinpoint what it causing the slow loss.
Would really appreciate any comments you may have as I'm feeling rather dow about the slow loss and being out of ketosis.
Thanks,
