The LIFE log of Scope75.....

Bacon is indeed amazing, not familiar with your diet, what is it exactly ? Are you counting sodium intake?

note: just started reading your log

I'm on CarbNite solution and it a no carb diet 6.5 days and then you refeed for 6-8hr a week with hi GI carbs.

Scope I have a couple of questions to ask about carb nite solution if you don't mind. Do you count calories at all? Is it ok to drink beer on your weekly carb nite? After your weekly carb nite how long does it take you to return to ketosis? Any advice for a carb nite beginner? I'm almost three weeks in. Thanks.

I did CNS for 3 months successfully.

Carbnite is not the best time to eat whatever you want. It's just the time to eat High Gluc carbs.

You might have touched on this earlier but what made you choose carb night over CBL?

I do and I don't count cals. Lol
Most days I just keep a rough count in my head and counting isn't really needed because I always eat the same sort of meals.
If your going to drink do it only in your CarbNite.
No idea on the ketosis question.

The main and only reason was I had a fractured leg and a blow out ankle.
I hope to be CBLing in 4-6 weeks.

Return to ketosis depends on you. Time required to return to ketosis after carbnite is more and more short if you keep cns several months.

For me I needed 2 days (about 48h) to return to ketosis. About 5 days

How do you know when you return to ketosis??

Don't mean to step on your log Scope, but I think I can add something here. When I run CKD I have a "Carb-nite" on Suday and < 30gm carbs/day the rest of the week. For me I would start seeing the sticks get dark on Tuesday or Wednesday depending on the amount of activity I had early in the week. The sticks didn't seem to be affected by beer I drank during my carb-nite, it was always Tuesday or Wednesday regardless of the amount I consumed.

That's my experience.

Keto-stix! Turn 'em purple with your urine. You can buy them at pretty much any pharamcy for cheap.
