I have a dilemma. For the past few days, my ketone strips are reading around 100 mg/dL, which is a large amount of ketones. This means that my body is currently burning fat at a fast rate. And, that's great. However, tomorrow is supposed to be the start of a carb-up in my cycle. And, I hate to knock myself out of ketosis when it is burning fat so well. On the flip side of the coin, it is likely due to my carb cycling that I am in heavy ketosis right now. Not doing a carb up might allow my body to adjust to the small amounts of carbohydrates that I have been consuming. So, even though I have reservations about it, I have made a decision. Slip out of ketosis and enjoy high carb food this weekend. If my theories on dieting are correct this will, in the long run, result in greater weight loss.
