I bought some Ketostix today and I am seriously upset, i've been on the AD for about 4 weeks now.
The test strip came up as negative, so even 5 days after I did my last refeed im not in ketosis. What do I do? One note is I did eat about 10 minutes before I pee'd on the strip, does that matter? I have been eating to much protein ( about 1g/lb of bodyweight ) ? Seriously no ketones in my body?
Here is a typical days meal:
7am: 3 eggs and 3 strips of bacon / multi,ala,cla
10am: 1oz chz and 1oz ( ~22 ) almonds / ala, 5g fish oil
12pm: 6oz steak, 2 cups broccoli and cauliflower, 1 tblspn EVOO, .25 cup chz / cla, ala, fish oil
3pm: 1oz chz and 1oz almonds / ala, fish oil
5:30pm: 15g of BCAAs
6pm: work out while consuming another 15g of BCAAs
7:30pm: 6oz steak ( sometimes ckn or porkchops ), 2 cups veggies, .25 cup chz, 1 tblspn EVOO, 1 tblspn Blue chz dressing / ala, cla, fish oil, multi
9pm: 3 tblspns of natty PB and 1 oz chz / fish oil, ala
Honestly, what am I doing wrong. It must be something that Im missing or adding or doing wrong. :wtf:
