Hi All,

I had a surgical procedure done on Wednesday of this week, and was given Tylenol 3 for pain control. Even though my diet is bang on, I am not showing ketones on the sticks. (I WAS testing...

Pork rinds, whipping cream.... (wonderful snack on SF Jello....), almonds, sunflower seeds, avocados, bacon, almond oil, sesame oil

Yes, eat zero carb for about 2 days with high fats. I go to 80%... Also, do a depletion workout after your carb up. This means, work out at moderate - high intensity until you experience the symptoms...
