The effects of reality on plans is never lost on me and its no different in this case. I'm 11 days into this diet and I am still not in ketosis. The good news is I know why, the bad news is that I'm already 1/4 of the way through. Yesterday I went to see my Dr so we could come up with a plan to get things working. The problem is my blood sugar. We came up with a few strategies that seem to be working, but its a waiting game at this point. I've added a new supplement, some cinnamon, and some MCT. I've also switched out my apples and oranges for berries, which are lower in carbs. My blood sugar last night was down to 120 -- almost there but not quite. This morning it was back up to 135, but my sugar is always higher in the morning. I'm hopeful that by monday things will be working. I'm also pushing more fluids, more greed tea and more water. I'm determined to make this work, so it will. My high blood sugar is a bit of a mystery given what I have been eating and for how long. I know that my personal threshold for carbs is about 50 but even that is just not how things are supposed to work. Apparently the negative pairings for my mutant super powers include a low threshold for sugar and carbs. All that aside, I'm more stubborn than I am mutated, so eventually this nut is going to crack and I'm going to see some serious progress. I expect to see nice low blood sugars by the end of the day and ketosis by Saturday morning. We shall see. until then ...
