[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1991817, member: 24561"] Thanks [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] and [USER=496333]@Jim Lahey[/USER] So, even though they aren't showing up on the Kefostix, I am still producing ketones but my body is using all of them. Thank goodness for that - I couldn't get to grips with how I could be on (basically) a water fast but not be in ketosis. Thank you for your help. [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] My carnivorous experiment was basically eat however much meat and fat I liked but after having BPC for breakfast I really didn't feel like eating much else at all. Most days it was BPC for breakfast and eggs and bacon or roast pork belly for dinner. I didn't say PIR could take me out of ketosis,, at least I don't think I did. I just wondered whether I was actually in ketosis at all (mainly because my BGs have been in the high to low 6s since day 1, although it has finally gone down to 5.4 this afternoon). I haven't yet found a test for PIR so, apart from the absence of ketones, I wouldn't know if I've got it / going through it or not.
