My meter stays around 0.1-0.2.<br /><br />Oh by the way I almost choked on my chicken bone reading this one - protein from vegetable sources being superior?? Did the nurses exaggerate about their veggie intake. I know so many people who eat a few lettuce leaves with their fries, pies, pasta, chinese food etc and seem to think the former cancels out the latter.....http://www.nbcnews.com/id/15625548/#.U9871bSMVaeJasmineJohendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807503482277639920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-86437279612608864642014-08-04T01:57:22.925-05:002014-08-04T01:57:22.925-05:00"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases t..."When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."<br />Goodhart's law, originating in economics but at least as true when applied to the animal economy. Also phrased as "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes." and "A risk model breaks down when used for regulatory purposes".Puddleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953398103675945541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-4757029171561212112014-08-01T16:19:48.472-05:002014-08-01T16:19:48.472-05:00thank you, Jan! :-Dthank you, Jan! :-Dtesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-829764155372122862014-08-01T16:19:26.460-05:002014-08-01T16:19:26.460-05:00"being in ketosis" for me is just a sign..."being in ketosis" for me is just a sign i haven't been eating TOO many carbs! :-) i feel good like that -- but i don't need measuring tools to know i feel good, and therefore am in a good nutritional place. are you of the right age to remember "if it feels good, do it"?tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-70697622555697681492014-08-01T16:16:18.397-05:002014-08-01T16:16:18.397-05:00Well Done Tess ............

BUT, when I cut calories about as low as I can stand (900 to 1100/day), no weight loss either--my body just slows on down and it messes with my thyroid. In ketosis, I can at least maintain my weight loss and feel great. JanKnitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178703790352191912noreply@blogger.com
