[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1620989, member: 438800"] I must have phrased it badly. Let me try to clear up my confusing statements: [LIST] [*]Assuming that you are not actually in ketosis, having a single slice of pizza per week cannot undo the good work you have been doing. In my opinion. [*]The trick is to keep such "excursions" relatively rare. Being "only" pre-diabetic, you may have rather more leeway than a confirmed diabetic such as myself and others who have been posting in this thread. [*]If you are actually in ketosis (very unlikely, unless you have been checking) then, yes, eating a slice of pizza could kick you out of ketosis. Getting back into ketosis could then take a bit of time, depending on each individual. [*]As far as I am concerned it is mainly a personality thing. Because you have some leeway, you may be able to adopt a "moderate" or "low-to-moderate" low-carb lifestyle and keep good numbers. I, for one, would find that very hard to do. "Moderation" isn't really my thing. But other people are brilliant at it. [/LIST] I hope this helps. I have been trying to put myself in your shoes. I love pizza, too, but (real-pie-crust) pizza is now firmly in my past. Or you could just do what [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] suggests and only eat the topping. I have done precisely that when invited to people's homes for various crust-based goodies -- causing incredulity but so far, no one has actually punched me in the face for it. [/QUOTE]
