Clearly in ketosis but not as much as the past two weeks ( the ketone strip markers are color-coded, not numerical, so I can't be all that precise.

Day 37....July 18, 2020...212 lb. Ketosis + @ 9:00 AM.
Note: the method of measuring ketosis is imprecise. It is using color-coded strips. Even though I am still ketosis, it has not registered the darkest color recently. The minimal carbs might have compromised or slowed down my ketosis.

Second Note: I am discouraged and puzzled by the sudden two-pound weight gain.
Day 38....July 19, 2020...212 lb. Ketosis + @ 9:00 AM but probably not as highly ketonic as before.
Day 39....July 20, 2020...210 lb. Ketosis + @ 10:30 AM..

Day 42 Food Log

Black coffee and seltzer throughout the day.

Around 9:30 PM: Roughly 6 tablespoons of proprietary arginine mix prior to workout.

Around 11 PM: A large serving of slow-cooked potatoes, potato chips with dip, pepperoni, summer sausage, cheese and crackers, about two glasses of red wine, a "Thin" Reese Cup made with dark chocolate.

Around 7:20 PM: Approximately 5 oz. of Rainier cherries (including pits that I spat onto the lawn) and one large peach. Rainier cherries approximately amounts to 90 calories., zero fat.The peach also equals about 90 calories withe less than a gram of fat.

Suspending Diet on Day 41

I am hoping this will be a brief interlude measured in days, not weeks. My motive is more economical than anything else. My wife does not follow my diet and thus, we have a lot of leftovers: Potatoes, Bing cherries, roasted vegetables as well as things like pecans and walnuts that have a long but not indefinite shelf life.

Usual disclaimer: When you go off a keto diet, it takes about 72 hours to restart ketosis.

I might not be logging my off-diet foods in quite as much detail.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I skipped the arginine on Day 41. It caused some digestive issues (coupled with four bowls of turkey soup) the night before.
_______________________________________________________________________________

When I finally ate on Day 41, I did not pig out. Roughly 1 oz. of corn chips. roughly 1 oz. of pretzel sticks with dip. Roughly 2 oz.of a strange snack food called Pop Corners that is sort of a cross between popcorn and Pringles, 14 oz. of roasted veggies consisting of squash, carrots, and potatoes. I also ate a 3 oz. of summer sausage and finally a cup of flavored yogurt.

I did not feel the need to pig out on anything but I did feel the need to taste a wide variety of foods.
