Well since she's a lady, she will prob crave chocolate, so tell her to get maxilean bars by nutrimax (2.8g carb per bar) and then she can have half a bar as a treat if she wants

Thanks,she is using lots of pb olive oil and mac oil as fat sources,I did recomend getting fish caps,need to check if she has done so.

What results can a "natural" lady expect ?I know this varies person to person and how much bf is being carried but I would think 1kg a week should be doable,although would far prefer purely going on bf measurements.

Guys, this is slightly off topic, but is it normal to have a negative ketostic at certain times of the day and usually 1 hour after a meal to go back into ketosis?

Is dizziness also normal ? All withdrawel symptoms are there,slight headache etc but also complaints of bouts of dizziness ?I would expect this from low sugar levels before your body switches across correct ?

Didn't take a start weight but think she has dropped a good deal of water over the last few days.

Yeah dizziness is common, blood sugar still needs to stabilise and all, I wouldn't even train at the start of keto for the first few days if she is dizzy and all. It should get better over the next 2-3days

Was asking cos sometimes the diabetic stuff has sugar alcohols instead of sugar (fructose), so its fine for them but may kick you out of ketosis slightly but not by much. Some ppl say the sugar alcohols dont influence blood sugar and some ppl say they do. I guess a few of those wont hurt. Some sweeterners are fine on keto, the ones you need to avoid are the ones that end in -ate like cyclamate for example and there was another one but I cant think of it so just check what sweeteners are added to them

Is sucralose OK to use in your shakes while on Keto?

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
